In Button Mode, you can use the virtual buttons on the Dual Mode Pad which provide convenient shortcuts to frequently used applications. You can also use the volume control bar to adjust the system volume quickly and easily.

Using the Virtual Buttons

The Dual Mode Pad has six virtual buttons and a volume control bar. Each virtual button can be configured to start an application. The volume control bar is used to adjust the system volume level.
