Tap the tab to view 
the menu bar for 
this page.
Your handheld includes the following interface elements:
•  Pick lists display a list of choices. Tap the black triangle next to the pick list name to display a list of choices, and then tap an 
item in the list to select it.
•  The scroll bar moves through long notes or memos. Tap and drag the scroll bar slider to scroll through pages; tap the slider 
arrow at either end to move one line at a time. To scroll to the previous page, tap the scroll bar just above the slider; to scroll 
to the next page, tap the scroll bar just below the slider. You can also scroll to the previous and next pages by pressing the 
Scroll buttons up or down on the front of the handheld.
•  Icons open applications and menus.
•  The A dot in the input area activates the alphabetic keyboard when tapped. Note that the cursor must be in an input field for 
this option to work.
•  The 1 dot in the input area displays the numeric keyboard when tapped. Note that the cursor must be in an input field for this 
option to work. 
•  The menu bar contains a set of menu commands specific to the application. Not all applications have a menu bar.
•  The command bar lets you tap icons or write a shortcut stroke to initiate a command instead of tapping a command in the 
menu bar. The icons displayed in the command bar vary within each application. 
•  Command buttons initiate a command when tapped. Command buttons appear in dialog boxes and at the bottom of  
application screens (examples: OK or Cancel).
•  Check boxes indicate the state of the corresponding option. A check mark in a check box means the option is active. If a 
check box is empty, tap it to insert a check mark. If a check box is checked, tap it to remove the check mark.
•  Next/previous arrows display the previous and next page of information.
•  Text areas and screens allow you to enter information.
