The Basics
This chapter provides basic information about using your Smartphone, such as moving
through the screens, understanding what is on your screen, entering text and numbers,
and securing the Smartphone.
Navigation Methods
The following topics describe how to move through the Smartphone screens and perform
tasks quickly and easily.
Using the Navigation Pad
You can use the navigation pad to perform the following actions:
• Scrolling horizontally and vertically, moving the selection focus on the screen.
• Selecting an item that has the focus (is highlighted).
Scroll by pressing the part of the navigation pad that corresponds to the direction in
which you want to scroll. Once you have scrolled to an item, you can then select it by
pressing O at the center of the navigation pad.
In many cases, scrolling to an item and pressing O (in other words, "selecting" the item)
takes you to a program or setting. When you scroll to a check box, pressing O selects or
clears the check box.
In most procedures in this document, "select" means scrolling to an item and pressing O.
In some programs, such as Messaging, you can move to the next or previous item by
scrolling left or right. For example, when you are viewing a message in Messaging, you
can move to subsequent messages in the message list by scrolling right.
Some screens, such as the ones in Settings, let you select an option by scrolling left and
right within a field. Usually, you apply the option by pressing the soft key below Done.

Using Soft Keys
There are 2 soft keys on the Smartphone, located directly below the display screen.
Pressing a soft key performs the command displayed immediately above it on the
screen. Soft key commands may change from one screen to the next.
