Navigating on Your Device
You can use finger gestures or the stylus to navigate and interact with the interface of your
device:
Finger gestures
You can use finger gestures to select, scroll and pan on the touch screen.
Touching or tapping
When selecting items on the screen, such as the Home screen tabs, Start screen, programs
and settings icons, and large onscreen buttons, simply touch them with your finger. Apply
some pressure with your finger pad when touching an item on the screen.
“Tapping” is touching the screen lightly and quickly with your finger pad or fingertip. On
screens that display smaller-size items, you can more accurately select an item by tapping it
with your fingertip.
Finger-scrolling
Finger-scrolling can be used to scroll up and down Web pages, documents, and lists such
as the contacts list, file list, message list, calendar appointments list, and more.
To scroll up and down:
䢇 To scroll down, swipe your finger upward on the touch screen. To scroll up, swipe your
finger downward on the touch screen. (“Swiping” means dragging your finger vertically on
the screen.)
䢇 To auto-scroll, flick your finger upward or downward on the touch screen. Touch the screen
to stop scrolling. (“Flicking” is similar to swiping, except that you need to swipe your finger
in light, quicker strokes.)
