CHAPTER 3

Moving Around in Applications

Moving around in list screens and entry screens

In list screens, use the 5-way to select and move between entries such as notes, memos, contacts,
or photos. In individual entry screens—such as a single photo or email message—use the 5-way to
move among the items on the screen or to move to another entry.

The behavior of the 5-way for list screens and entry screens varies according to application.
Follow the guidelines for moving around with the 5-way for general tips; as you become familiar
with each application, learning the specific behavior of the 5-way is easy.

Moving around in dialog boxes

Dialog boxes appear when you select a button or option that requires you to provide additional
information. In dialog boxes, use the 5-way to select a button or to make a selection from items
such as boxes and pick lists.

Read dialog boxes carefully. Selecting a button such as OK or Yes may

cancel an action or delete information.
