About the default home screen
The default home screen acts as a gateway to the functions on your Vertu
Constellation:
• The other home screens. There are two home screens on one side of the default
home screen that are dedicated to Vertu Select and City Brief. On the other side,
there is one home screen that provides access to the initial mailbox and a row of
shortcuts to Vertu's specially curated applications; and another home screen that
provides access to the application quick launch widget. These two home screens
are customisable so that you can add the applications and shortcuts that you use
the most.
You can also add a sixth, blank, home screen that is fully customizable.
When you are traveling, and wish to avoid roaming charges, to deactivate Vertu
Select or City Brief, select
• The three most commonly used profiles – Silent, Offline and Normal. To change
the profile, select the profile icon in the top left of the default view, and select a
different profile. If Silent is selected, you can choose a time interval for the phone
to be silent before it reverts to the previous profile.
• Four shortcuts at the bottom of the screen (and at the bottom of the two
customisable screens) that give you access to Contacts, Calendar, Messaging,
and Web.
• Status menu is available from the notification area at the top of the screen by
swiping down to open it. This shows the status of a number of key functions plus
notifications of new mail, new messages, and missed calls. Drag the panel up to
close.
The default home screen has an interactive clock that automatically detects your
current time and availability, and provides access to your alarms and appointments.
If you are away from your regular time zone, the time at home is also shown on the
clock face, in digital format. Your current appointments are indicated by the arcs
around the clock, and your current alarms are indicated by red markers.
Tip: When you select a quadrant on the clock that contains one or more
appointments, the appointments are displayed in a pop-up window. Select the required
appointment to access the calendar.
The menu key for the selection of other functions is situated centrally just below the
display.
To access the options relevant to your current screen, select
> Settings and Vertu Settings.
