Nancy Drew and the Secret of Shadow Ranch Hints
There's an exclamation mark next to the inventory/phone/notebook icon.
That's to let you know there's something new there. In the case of the notebook, it might be a journal entry or a checklist item. On the phone, it might be a new e-mail, website, phone number, or conversation. You don't absolutely HAVE to check it out, but it's a good idea.
On the other hand, that exclamation mark isn't completely reliable. For example, you'll get a checkmark on the inventory for putting something back, and you get them all the time on the phone when there isn't anything new there. So don't freak if you look and there's nothing new.
