 * The **Bluetooth** icon shows whether Bluetooth is active or disabled.
 * The power indicator shows the battery's current charge and charging state.
   Tapping this opens the **Power** section of the :ref:`settings <l5_settings>` application.
 * The screen orientation indicator can be used to toggle automatic rotation on or off.
   Long pressing the indicator allows switching between **Portrait** and **Landscape** modes.
 * The bell indicator is used to enable and disable sound notifications.
 * The **Torch** indicator is used to switch the camera flash LED on and off, using it as a flashlight.
