About the display
A small number of missing, discolored, or bright dots may appear on the screen. This is a characteristic of this type of display.
Some displays may contain pixels or dots that remain on or off. This is normal, not a fault.
About the Menu key
The communicator keyboard has a Menu key. Press the Menu key to access the various menu options. The options available
depend on the application you are in. The chosen option affects the item that is currently selected or open. In multipage dialogs
you can use the Menu key to move from one page to another.
Scrolling and making selections
Use the arrow keys or the scroll key to move the cursor and make selections on the communicator interface.
Scrolling on the communicator interface
There are four separate arrow keys that you can use for scrolling. Scrolling means that you move up, down, left and right in the
application groups on Desk, in an application, in the text, or in the Menu. The scroll key functions similarly to the arrow keys,
but you can also press the scroll key down to open files or perform the function of an underlined command button.
Making selections
To select text left of the cursor, press and hold the Shift key, and press the left arrow key until you have selected the text. To
select text right of the cursor, press and hold the Shift key, and press the right arrow key until you have selected the text.
To select different items, such as messages, files, or contacts, press the arrow keys up, down, left or right to scroll to the item
you want.
To select items one by one, scroll to the first item, press and hold the Ctrl key, scroll to the next item, and press space bar to select it.
