Touch screen tips

With the touch of your finger, you can access
available applications, make menu selections,
and access data saved to your phone. The
following terms are used for describing the
different available actions using the touch
screen:
Tap - A single finger tap selects items,
links, shortcuts and letters on the on-screen
keyboard.
Touch and hold - Touch and hold an item on
the screen by touching it and not lifting your
finger until an action occurs. For example, to
open a contact's available options, touch and
hold the contact in the Contacts list until the
context menu opens.
Drag - Touch and hold an item for a moment
and then, without lifting your finger, move your
finger on the screen until you reach the target
position. You can drag items on the Home
screen to reposition them.
Swipe or slide - To swipe or slide, quickly
move your finger across the surface of the
screen, without pausing when you first touch
it (so you don't drag an item instead). For
example, you can slide the screen up or down
to scroll through a list, or browse through the
different Home screens by swiping from left to
right (and vice versa).
Double-tap - Double-tap to zoom on a Web
page or a map. For example, quickly double-
tap a section of a Web page to adjust that
section to fit the width of the screen. You
can also double-tap to zoom in and out when
using Maps.
Pinch-to-Zoom - Use your index finger and
thumb in a pinch or spread motion to zoom
in or out when using the browser, Maps, or
browsing pictures.
Rotate the screen - From many applications
and menus, the orientation of the screen
adjusts to the device's physical orientation.
NOTE
• To select an item, tap the center of the
icon.
• Do not to press too hard; the touch screen
is sensitive enough to pick up a light, firm
touch.
• Use the tip of your finger to tap the option
you want. Be careful not to tap any other
keys or icons.
