Assigning Applications to
Buttons
Buttons preferences let you assign different applications to the buttons on the front of the handheld, and to the HotSync
®
button
on the cradle. For example, if you find that you seldom use the To Do List and often use the Memo Pad, you can assign the To Do
List button to start the Memo Pad application.
You can also change whether the full-screen pen stroke activates the Graffiti
®
2 Help application or one of your handheld
controls using Buttons preferences.
If you assign a different application to a button, you can still select the original application using the Applications Launcher.
Changes made in the Buttons Preferences screen or HotSync Buttons dialog box take effect immediately.
To change the Buttons preferences:
1. Tap the
Applications Launcher (Home) icon.
2. Select
All or System from the pick list in the upper right corner.

from the menu.
4. In the pick list in the upper right corner, tap
Buttons.
5. In the Buttons Preferences screen, tap the pick list next to the button you want
to re-assign.
6. Tap the application that you want to assign to the button.
TIP: To restore all of the buttons to their factory settings, tap Default.
