USING THE TOUCHSCREEN
Your touchscreen provides an excellent way to interact with and use your Android phone. With the
touch of your finger, you can download and use 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 touchscreen:
Touch: A single finger touch selects items. For example, touch an icon (e.g., Application menu
x
item), touch words (e.g., menu selection or to answer an on-screen question), or touch letters and
numbers to type on the virtual QWERTY keypad.
Touch and hold: Touch and hold an item on the screen by touching it and not lifting your finger
x
until an action occurs. For example, to open a pop-up menu for customizing the Home Screen,
touch and empty area on the Home screen until the pop-up menu appears.
Drag: Touch and hold an item for a moment and then, without lifting your finger, move your
x
finger on the screen until you reach the target position. You can drag items on the Home screen to
reposition them.
Pinch: Place two fingers on the screen and move them apart to zoom in on a picture, a document
x
or a web page, or move them together to zoom out.
Swipe or slide: Quickly move your finger across the surface of the screen, without pausing when
x
you first touch it (so you don't drag an item instead). For example, you can slide (move) 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).
Note Use one finger at a time except when you deal with a picture or a document. The Breakout™ will not
recognize when you use more than two fingers.
CAUTION
x Do not use sharp tools that can scratch the touch screen.
x Do not allow the touch screen to come in contact with water or chemicals. The touch screen may
malfunction in humid conditions or in chemicals.
x Do not sit on the Breakout™. The touch screen can be damaged.
