Moving Around in Applications

Using the 5-way navigator

The 5-way navigator lets you access information quickly with one hand and without the stylus. The
5-way does various things based on which type of screen is displayed. To use the 5-way, press Up,
Down, Right, Left, or Center.

Moving around with the 5-way

On most screens, one item—a button, a list entry, or an entire screen—is highlighted by default.
Use the 5-way to move the highlight around to different items on the screen so that you can open
or activate them. To locate the highlight, look for the following.

Individual applications may contain application-specific elements that can also be

highlighted by the 5-way. You can locate the highlight on these items by looking for either the
glow or the reverse text described here.

• These items acquire a glow around their border when

highlighted:
• An onscreen button (OK, Cancel, and so on)
• A pick list; this includes the category pick list in the

upper-right corner of many screens

• An entire screen, such as a full list of contacts or memos
• A check box
• Arrows in the title bar of screens such as a list of

memos or an email Inbox

Tip

To remove the selection
highlight without making
a selection, scroll to the
first icon (in the upper-left
corner) and then press
Left on the 5-way, or enter
the Backspace character
using Graffiti® 2 writing.

Tip

When an entire screen is
highlighted, only the top
and bottom borders
acquire the glow; the
right and left borders do
not show the highlight.
