The menus on non-touch screen Smartphones have numbers associated with each menu option. Instead of scrolling through the menu to select your preferred option, you can press the number associated with it on the device’s keypad. This can save time, especially if you find that you are continually using the same option from a menu—once you commit that option’s number to memory, simply activate Menu and press the option number on the keypad.
Some menus on newer Smartphones are truncated (see image). If there are more options than can be displayed on a single menu screen, you will see a down arrow at the bottom of the screen, indicating that you have to scroll down to see the rest of the options. If you already know the number associated with one of these unseen options, all you have to do is hit the number on the keypad to open it.
