Home screen

In the home screen, you can quickly access your most frequently used applications, and view at a glance if you have missed calls or new messages.


Whenever you see the Arrow icon icon, scroll right to access a list of available actions. To close the list, scroll left. The home screen consists of the following:


  1. Application shortcuts. To access an application, select the shortcut of the application.
  2. Information area. To check an item displayed in the information area, select the item.
  3. Notification area. To view the notifications, scroll to a box. A box is only visible if there are items in it.


You can define two separate home screens for different purposes, for example, one screen to show your business e-mail and notifications, and another to show your personal e-mail. This way, you do not have to see business related messages outside office hours.


To switch between the home screens, select Switch icon.


To define which items and shortcuts you want in the home screen, and to set the appearance of the home screen, select Menu > Ctrl. panel and Modes.
