Viewing the Display Screen
The Status Bar appears at the top of the screen. It displays icons indicating that you’ve received notifications
(on the left) and icons indicating the device’s status (on the right), along with the current time.
If you have more notifications than can fit in the Status Bar, a plus icon prompts you to open the Status
Bar to view them all. (See Using the Notifications Panel on page 19.) The following list identifies the
