Understanding Your Phone 17
Using the Multitasking Menu
This key ( ) launches the Multitask menu that can be
activated from within any active window or page on the phone.
There is no need to stop what you are doing, if you quickly want
to jump out and activate another common feature.
The idea is to allow you to temporarily exit from your current
location to access a group of common functions such as: Call,
Messaging, Mobile Web, Music Player, Games and Apps, End
all?. This key keeps you from having to completely exit from your
current task or window, whether that be a text message, a web
page, or an active call, just to quickly do something else.
Here is an example:
You might be in the middle of typing up an email or text message,
when you suddenly realize that you need to make a quick call.
Typically, you would have to exit from your current message,
navigate to the Idle screen, make your call (page 27), after which
you would have to go back and re-create your message.
Using this same situation, all you would have to do is:
1. Press until the you see the Multitask menu screen.
2. Touch Call, then enter your number and continue the call.
3. Once you are done, hang up the call normally and you are
returned to the previous message screen.
Multitask Functions
Pressing the Multitasking key ( ) on the left side of the
handset, allows you to choose from one of the following
functions:
• Call: allows you to make a voice call while using the handset for other
tasks. If Music Player is active, it is muted during the call.
• Messaging: allows you to send a text or multimedia message while
using the handset for other tasks.
• Mobile Web: allows you to launch the Mobile Web browser while using
the handset for other tasks.
• Music Player: allows you to launch the Music Player while using the
handset for other tasks. If an incoming call is received or you want to
make a call, the Music Player is muted.
• Games and Apps: allows you to quickly access Games and
Applications while using the handset for other tasks.
• End all?: exits the Multitask menu and returns you to your previously
active menu or page.
