3. LAYOUT
The display resolution is 640 x 200 pixels. There are four command buttons on the right-hand side of the display; the
button labels are presented on the left-hand side of the command buttons.
The display is divided into three different areas (see Figure 1). On the left, there is an Indicator area, and on the far
right is a Command Button Area (CBA). The width of both areas varies depending on the situation, and the space
between these areas is dedicated to the application use.
1) Indicator Area on the left: the Indicator Area is reserved for providing information about the active application,
the time and the status of the communication. The Indicator Area is either 92 or 32 pixels wide, depending on
which application is active.
2) Application Area in the middle: the Application Area is reserved for application use. When the application requires
all the space available, some extra space can be provided by using a narrower 32-pixel Indicator Area.
3) Command Button Area on the right: the Command Button Area consists of 4 commands, each command
corresponding to a dedicated button. Commands within a view/dialog may change, depending on the functional
context.
It is also possible to reserve the entire screen space for the application (see chapter 3.3).

3.1 Indicator Areas: Wide and Narrow Indicator Areas
The Indicator Area is dedicated to different kinds of important information, e.g. connections, battery and field strength
indicators. There are two sizes for the Indicator Area; the wider Indicator Area is 92 x 200 pixels and the narrow one is
32 x 200 pixels. The wider Indicator Area has also a place for time, the application icon and name (see Figure 2).
