Home screen

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

on a computer screen. Your Home screen can have up to twenty panes, which

extend beyond the regular screen display width. The number of Home screen panes

is represented by a series of dots at the lower part of the Home screen. The

highlighted dot shows the pane that is currently displayed.
