Task Manager
The Task Manager provides information about applications and processes running on your mobile
computer. You can use the Task Manager to monitor the memory and CPU usage of specific applications
and processes. Check the Task Manager when you are receiving out of memory errors or when the
mobile computer is running slowly.
Using the Task Manager
Applications To view the status of the programs running on your
mobile computer, tap the Menu button at the bottom of
the screen, then tap View > Applications.
From the application list, you can:
• Tap and hold on an application, then tap Switch To on
the pop-up menu.
• Tap and hold on an application, then tap End Task or

return to the running program, save your data, and close the application.
