Chapter 4: Working With Windows Mobile 6

Navigating In Windows Mobile 6 And Applications

4.1 Navigating In Windows Mobile 6 And Applications

Graphic user interfaces like Windows Mobile 6 for portable devices or desktop Windows (2000, XP, etc.) utilize ‘point and click’ navigation. On the WORKABOUT PRO, this is accomplished using a touchscreen and stylus rather than a mouse.

4.1.1 Navigating Using A Touchscreen And Stylus

Note: If the touchscreen is not registering your screen taps accurately, it may need recalibration. Refer to “Aligning (Calibrating) The Touchscreen” on page 44.

A touchscreen is a standard feature on all WORKABOUT PROs. Each is equipped with a stylusa pointing tool stored in a slot at the top of the unit.

Use the stylus to tap on the appropriate icon to open files and folders, launch applications and programs, make selections, and so on.

4.2Windows Mobile 6 Desktop–Today Screen

Keep in mind that if your hand-held is running Windows Mobile 6 Professional, the Today screen will offer Phone connectivity in the Navigation Bar at the top of the screen and a Phone softkey in the Softkey Bar at the bottom of the screen. Units running Windows Mobile 6 Classic provide a Calendar option in the Softkey Bar; phone options are not available with this version of Windows Mobile 6.
