Creating Shortcuts
Shortcuts are different than the current Home screen Widgets
that only launch an application. Shortcuts activate a feature,
action, or launch an application.
Note: To move a shortcut from one screen to another, drag it to
the edge of the screen.
Adding a shortcut from the Apps Menu
1. Press to activate the main Home screen.
2. Navigate to the desired Home Page.
3. Tap to display your current applications.
4. Scroll through the list and locate your desired
application.
5. Touch and hold the application icon. This creates an
immediate shortcut of the selected icon and closes the
Apps tab.
6. While still holding the on-screen icon, position it on the
current page. Once complete, release the screen to lock
the new shortcut into its new position on the current
screen.
Deleting a shortcut

2. Touch and hold the desired shortcut. This unlocks it
from its location on the current screen.
