Your Handheld

What’s on the screen?

Your handheld includes many features that make it easy to use. Among them are the input area
and the common elements that appear on the screen in each of the applications. Once you learn
how to use them in one application you can easily use them in all the others.

Tapping the icons in the input area does the following:

Clock icon

two seconds. See Setting the date and time and Managing Clock
Settings
for more information.

your handheld’s display. See Adjusting the brightness for instructions.
