The taskbar (at the bottom of the screen) displays the Start button, active programs, battery status and
communication status. The taskbar icons are described in Table 2-1. The taskbar icons display the function status,
indicate what programs are active and indicate the battery charge status. The Taskbar buttons are used to access
menus, select/deselect functions or to change display windows.
• Status Icons: The status icons indicate the function key status. If the FUNC, SHIFT, CTRL, ALT or ALPHA
functions are active the appropriate status icon is displayed.
• Active Programs Icons: The active applications icons are displayed on the taskbar. If more than one program
is active, icons can be used to toggle between the open programs (applications). Tap on a taskbar application
to maximize the application.
