Device Basics
The device’s built-in accelerometer senses movement
and changes its angle/orientation.
This allows the device to change the onscreen content
(images, video, Web pages) to properly display based
on the current angle (some screens may not
automatically change).
Although most screens will change orientation once
the QWERTY keyboard is opened, this feature can be
manually enabled to change the orientation for all
applicable screens when rotation is detected.
To manually activate the auto-rotate feature:
1. Press > and tap > Display.
2. Scroll down and tap Auto-rotate screen. A
checkmark indicates the feature is enabled.
Ⅲ Clear the Auto-rotate screen checkmark to disable
this automatic orientation adjustment.
Menu Navigation
There are two ways to navigate through a menu:
ⅷ Using your finger (page 34)
ⅷ Using the keyboard’s navigation/arrow keys
(page 52)
Portrait View
Landscape View
Note: An example of a screen that does not automatically
re-orient is the Home Screen.
An example of a screen that automatically re-orients by
moving the device is the Contacts screen. This only
requires you to turn the device on its side.
