Scrolling and navigation

Use the up and down navigation arrows to scroll up or down through lists; holding either arrow for a
few seconds produces a fast scroll. Use the right and left navigation arrows to move between the
Phone screen and Features list or the Features list and System Numbers list, or to move the cursor
right or left when entering text. Use the Display More key to scroll the selected line when the double
chevron symbol (">>") appears in the display.
When you scroll to a line on the display, that line is selected. The softkey labels will change
according to the options available for the selected line. The OK button is a shortcut for the default
action. For example, when you select an entry in your contacts list, pressing the OK button places a
call to that person.
You can also select a line or feature without scrolling by pressing the corresponding line button.
