In this book and the entire Missing Manual series, you’ll find instructions like
this one: Tap Settings
➝
Sounds
➝
Mute. That’s a shorthand way of giving longer
instructions like this: “Tap the Settings button. On the screen that opens, tap
Sounds. And from the screen that opens after that, tap the Mute option.”
It’s also used to make it easier to understand instructions you’ll need to follow
on your PC or Mac, such as File
➝
Print.
