Other Common Finger Gestures
• Touch and Hold: Touching and keeping your finger on an on-screen item, until a
light glow appears around it, may activate a separate menu or other options for
that item. This is often used for deleting an item from the tablet.
• Drag: To move an object, or activate functionality, Touch and Hold an item until
it glows, then "drag" it to another location on the screen without lifting your finger
or stylus.
• Swipe/Slide: A motion often used to move through menus, pictures or multiple
options. This is done with a light tap or flick of the finger/stylus into the direction
you want the item, menu or screen to move toward.
• Double-Tap: Some items will require two taps in order to activate, zoom-in, zoom-
out.
• Pinch: In some apps (such as Maps, Browser, and Gallery), you can zoom
in and out by placing two fingers on the screen at once, and pinching
them together (to zoom out) or spreading them apart (to zoom in.)
Swipe or Tap the Status Bar to View Notifications
Notifications provide a means to alert the user of new messages, alarms and scheduled
events. The notification icon appears at the bottom of the screen. To see notifications, you
can either swipe up from the bottom or tap the bar and it will open notifications such as
calendar events. When you are done reading or responding to individual notifications, you
can simply swipe them to the left or right side and they will disappear from the Notifications
list. You can quickly get to the Settings menu by tapping the Notifications title bar (where
time, battery level and settings icons are shown).
