Creating Shortcuts
Shortcuts are different from the Home screen Widgets. Shortcuts can access a specific contact, activate
a feature, action, or launch an application.
To add a shortcut from the Applications Tab:
1. Press to access the Home screen.
2. Select a location (screen) for your new shortcut by scrolling across your available screens until you
reach the desired one. (See Extended Home Screens on page 24.)
3. Tap to display all your current applications. By default, the applications are listed in a Grid view.
4. Scroll down through the list and locate your desired application.
5. Touch and hold the on-screen icon. This creates an immediate shortcut of the selected icon and
closes the Applications screen. The new shortcut then appears to hover over the Home screen.
6. While holding the on-screen icon, position it on the current screen. Once complete, release the
screen to lock the shortcut into its new position.
To add a shortcut via the Home screen:
1. Press to access the Home screen.
2. Touch and hold on an empty area of the screen.
3. From the Add to Home screen window, tap

.
Note
The same shortcut can be added to any of the available screens (Home or Extended). The application you add to
the screen will still appear within the Applications screen.
