CHAPTER 2

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.

Input area

Tapping the icons in the input area does the following:
