Selecting Menu Items
Many applications have menus to provide access to additional
features. These menus are usually hidden from view, but they
appear when you press Menu . To get the most out of your
device, it’s a good idea to familiarize yourself with the additional
features available through the various application menus.
1. Press Menu to open an application’s menus.
2. Press Right and Left to switch between menus.
3. Press Up and Down to highlight a menu item.
4. Press Center to select the menu item, or press Menu
to close the menus and cancel your selection.
Selecting Options in a Pick List
A range of options is often presented in a type of menu called a pick list, which can be
identified by a downward-pointing arrow. Pick lists are different from the application
menus previously described. The application menus give you access to additional features,
and pick lists enable you to select the contents for a particular field.
You can select an option from a pick list with the 5-way or the stylus:
䢇 Use the 5-way to highlight the pick list, and then press Center to display the
items in the list. Press Up and Down to highlight the item you want, and then
press Center to select the highlighted item. To exit the pick list without making a
selection, press Left or Right .
Tip:
Most menu items have menu shortcuts listed in the menu. To use a
menu shortcut, press Menu plus the shortcut letter. You don’t have to
see the menu item to use the menu shortcut. For example, when you’re
in Calendar, you can press Menu + N to create a new event.
