Accessing the Menus

To access the menus on the Backflip you need to tap the menu key (circled in red in the image below)

This will bring up a sub-menu on the screen:

From here you can:

• Add an item to the Desktop
• Change the Wallpaper
• Search
• View Notifications
• Access the Settings sub-menu

Terminology

• Menu key
  • The area just below the screen that looks like four small squares. It is circled in red in the first image above. When on a home screen it opens a sub-menu. In many applications it opens an application specific menu.
• Home key
  • The button that looks like a house. See first image.
• Back key
  • Looks like a curved arrow, at right in first image above. Takes you back to the previous screen or menu.
• Swipe
  • To rest your finger on the screen and slide it.
• Long tap
  • To tap and hold. Similar to right-clicking a mouse on some computers, usually brings up a context menu.
• Tap
  • A gentle tapping of a screen area, icon, or menu item.
• Home screen
  • Any of the five screens you can view by swiping across the Backflip's screen.
• Main Home Screen
  • The center of the five screens. The one that you are taken to if you tap the home key.

Notation

Notation for the steps to get to a sub-menu item looks like this:

Menu->Settings-Some other item->Another item if needed

Menu is always the menu key on the bottom left of the phone.

Each step is separated with ->

Each step will be worded exactly as you see it on the phone - barring typos and errors.
