Sharp IQ-8900 - Manual (Page 57)

Operations on the unit are performed using “applications.”
The unit’s Calendar and Schedule, for example, are
applications-they perform an operation and accomplish
a task based on your directions. To open an application,
select it by pressing the appropriate key on the left of the
display.
When working in one application, you can switch to
another application simply by pressing that application
key. Data being processed in the first application will, in
most cases, be preserved and the operation can be
completed when the application is selected again. In
cases when an operation or procedure cannot be
completed, a warning message will indicate this and give
you the option of remaining in the application.
Menu
operation Another powerful aspect of the unit’s graphical user
interface is its system of menus, which can be used to
quickly execute commands and perform operations. With
the exception of the Clock, two “universal” menus
PERIPHERALS and TOOLS can be accessed from
any application. In addition, except for the Clock, all
applications have VIEWS and MODIFY menus, with
specific functions and selections that are unique to each
application.
To change the display view, touch
and select
the desired view from the menu. To modify entries, for
example to delete one or several entries, touch
and select the desired operation. When you
want to perform an operation in another menu, you can
move between the four menus (PERIPHERALS and
TOOLS, VIEWS and MODIFY) using the and
keys.
