4.1 Navigating In Windows Mobile 6 And Applications
Graphic user interfaces like Windows Mobile 6 for portable devices or desktop Windows
(2000, XP, etc.) utilize ‘point and click’ navigation. On the iKôn PDA, this is accomplished
using a touchscreen and stylus rather than a mouse.
4.1.1 Navigating Using A Touchscreen And Stylus
A touchscreen is a standard feature on all iKôn PDAs. Each is equipped with a stylus–a
pointing tool –stored in a slot at the bottom of the unit.
• Use the stylus to tap on the appropriate icon to open files and folders, launch applica-
tions and programs, make selections, and so on.
4.2 Windows Mobile 6 Desktop–Today Screen
Keep in mind that if your PDA is running Windows Mobile 6 Professional, the Today screen
will offer Phone connectivity in the Navigation Bar at the top of the screen and a Phone
softkey in the Softkey Bar at the bottom of the screen. Units running Windows Mobile 6
Classic provide a Calendar option in the Softkey Bar; phone options are not available with
this version of Windows Mobile 6.
Note: If the touchscreen is not registering your screen taps accurately, it may need recali-
bration. Refer to “Aligning (Calibrating) The Touchscreen” on page 40.
