there is no item to open and no option to select (see

 

 

section Selection list).

 

 

The Select key must not directly activate any such

 

 

function the user would not expect in the given

 

 

situation. Therefore, the context specific options

 

 

menu is offered in states where no selectable items

 

 

exist.

 

 

The open/select function should not be mixed with

 

 

the options menu function within the same state;

 

 

only one or the other should be used.

Left softkey

- Typically labeled Options. Opens the options

 

 

menu.

 

 

Other labels and functions:

 

 

- Select. Used in menu lists and grids where further

 

 

options are not available. Selects the focused item;

 

 

same as Select key function.

 

 

- OK, Yes and other positive replies; used in

 

 

confirmation queries.

 

 

- In idle, a shortcut to a specific application.

 

 

Configurable by the user, labeled according to the

 

 

application.

Right softkey

- Typically labeled Back. Returns to the previous

 

 

state. (See section Application handling for a more

 

 

detailed description.)

 

 

Other labels and functions:

 

 

- Exit in application main states. Exits the

 

 

application and returns to idle.

 

 

- Cancel, interrupts a procedure and returns to the

 

 

preceding state; used in queries and other

 

 

temporary states.

Send

- Answers the incoming call when the phone rings.

other states where the focus is in a field containing
