Homescreen

The Homescreen is the starting point for using your device. It's similar to the desktop on

a computer screen. Your Homescreen can have up to seven panes, which extend

beyond the regular screen display width. The number of Homescreen panes is

represented by a series of dots at the lower part of the Homescreen. The highlighted dot

shows the pane that you are currently in.
