Your standby screen
Whenever your KF510 isn’t in use it will
return to your standby screen. From here you
can access menu options, make a quick call
and change your profi le - as well as many
other things.
Your KF510 has a touchpad on the slide. You
can determine what you see on the main
screen using the touch keys.
Touchpad tips
• There’s no need to press too hard, the
touchpad is sensitive enough to pick up on
a light touch.
• Use the tip of your fi nger to touch the
option you require. Be careful not to touch
any other keys around it.
• When the screen light is off, press the
camera key twice on the right hand side of
the phone to restore the standby screen.
• Don’t cover the phone with a case or cover
as the touchpad will not work with any
material covering it.
• When you enter a menu options, the
touchpad will provide a four way arrow
pad. Either touch the arrows to move
through a menu one item at a time, or
slide your fi nger across the touchpad in the
direction you want to move.
