Reading the Guide
The guide is dense with instruction. We’ve tried to make it clear for you. Here’s a hint. We will
refer to three kinds of buttons:
 Onscreen Buttons & Icons: You will touch the screen to engage these buttons.
Onscreen buttons are in Bold and labeled Onscreen Buttons or Icons.
 Softkeys: are context sensitive and lined up along the bottom of the display. Softkeys
will be italicized and labeled softkeys.
 Pre-programmed buttons: are hard keys on the phone, like speakerphone. We will
refer to these simply as buttons.
 Keypad: These are the numbers 1-9 plus * 0 #.
 In the instructions, we are direct in whether you should tap an onscreen button or press a
hard key.
