Home screen

The Home screen is the starting point for using your device. It's similar to the desktop

on a computer screen. Your Home screen can have up to seven panes, which extend

beyond the regular screen display width. The number of Home screen panes is

represented by a series of dots at the lower part of the Home screen. The highlighted

dot shows the pane that you are currently in.
