When you are inside a coverage area, the bars of the signal-strength
icon are filled in according to the strength of the signal. If you're outside a
coverage area, the bars in the signal-strength icon appear dimmed with

Shut down your device
Usually, turning your device off and/or putting it in airplane mode is
sufficient for normal periods when you have the device with you but you're
not using it. On rare occasions, however, you may want to put your
device into deep sleep because you are not going to use it for an
extended period. At those times, shut down the screen and wireless
services completely by doing one of the following:
• Open Device Info and tap
Shut Down again.
• Press and hold the power
NOTE When you turn everything off, the device's alarms and notifications are
also turned off.
To turn both the screen and wireless services back on, press and hold the
power button until a logo appears onscreen.

You make gestures on the touchscreen.
Tap
Tap with the tip of the finger, not the fingernail. Tap fast and firmly, and
then immediately lift your fingertip off the screen. Don't bear down on
what you're tapping. Don't wait for a response; the response comes after
you lift your finger. Don't linger on the gesture; a tap takes a split second
to do.
Swipe
A swipe is a horizontal gesture, from right to left or left to right. Do it fast,
do it lightly. In a swipe, your fingertip just skims the surface of the
touchscreen.
Drag
Drag is the gesture you make for a slow scroll up and down, such as in a
list, in a document, or on a web page. Slide your fingertip slowly along
the surface—no need to bear down.
