Your Home screen
Touch screen tips
Here are some tips on how to navigate on your device.
Ţ
Tap or touch A single finger tap selects items, links, shortcuts and
letters on the on-screen keyboard.
Ţ
Touch and hold Touch and hold an item on the screen by tapping it
and not lifting your finger until an action occurs.
Ţ
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.
Ţ
Swipe or slide To swipe or slide, quickly move your finger across the
surface of the screen, without pausing when you first tap it (so you
don't drag an item instead).
Ţ
Double-tap Double-tap to zoom on a webpage or a map.
Ţ
Pinch-to-Zoom Use your index finger and thumb in a pinching or
spreading motion to zoom in or out when using the browser, Maps, or
when viewing pictures.
Ţ
Rotate the screen From many applications and menus, the screen
orientation adjusts to the device's physical orientation.
NOTE
Ţ
Do not press too hard; the tap screen is sensitive enough to pick up a light, yet
firm tap.
Ţ
Use the tip of your finger to tap the option you want. Be careful not to tap any
other buttons.
