Change the navigation key shortcuts on your Motorola RIZR

Your phone's navigation keys can act as shortcuts to different functions on the phone. You can change the default settings to ones tailored to how you use your phone.

Published on Apr 19, 2007

The navigation keys on the Motorola RIZR are the four small arrows and the large circular button at the top of the keypad. The middle button accesses the Menu screen while the four direction buttons are shortcuts to different functions.

On a default setting, the four direction buttons are Media Centre (Left), Bluetooth (Up), Camera (Right), and Text Message (Down).

All of these functions can be changed to suit your preferences and most used features:

From the Standby screen, press The Central Navigation Button.
Highlight Settings and press Select (Figure 1).
Select Personalise (Figure 2) and then Home Screen (Figure 3).
Then select Home Keys (Figure 4).
You will see a list of buttons that you can change, including the Up/Down/Left/Right direction buttons, the Left and Right Soft Keys (Situated under the screen) and the Smart Key (A single button on the right-hand side of the keypad).
To change these buttons’ functions, scroll down to the one you want to change and press Change (Figure 5).
Then scroll down to the shortcut you want for that button and press Select (Figure 6)
