Phone Basics
Any time your phone is powered on, the display
provides you with information and options.
The screen shown above is the idle screen. The text
that appears on your idle screen depends on your
service provider. The idle screen appears when your
phone is on, but not engaged in any activity.
Text Area
This area displays menus, messages, names, phone
numbers, and other information.
Display Options
Two display options appear at the bottom of most
screens. You select a display option by pressing the
option key below it.
Menus and Lists
Your phone’s features are arranged in menus,
submenus, and lists.
To access the items in a menu or list, scroll using the
navigation key at the top of your keypad. This key lets
you scroll up, down, left, or right. Holding down the
appropriate part of the navigation key speeds up
scrolling.

or list item. For example, Settings > Security
