characters. The following conventions are used in
this manual to describe the navigation action in the

Navigating Through the Screens
The following terms describe the most common
hardware and on-screen actions.
• Press and hold : Pressing relates to use of the hardware
keys and buttons to select or activate an item. For
example: press the Navigation key to scroll through a
menu. Some buttons and keys require you to press and
hold them to activate a feature, for example, you press
the Lock key to lock and unlock the phone.
• Tap : Use a brief touch to select items on the display or to
enter text on the virtual QWERTY keyboard. For example:
touch an Application icon to open the application. A light
touch works best.
• Touch and hold : Touch and hold an icon or key to open
the available options, or to access a pop-up menu. For
example: press and hold from the Home screen to access
a menu of customization options.
• Flick : Move your finger in lighter, quicker strokes than
swiping. This finger gesture is always used in a vertical
motion, such as when flicking through contacts or a
message list.
