RAY Management screens provide between three and eight different actions that 
you can choose to perform on the selected item. RAY provides a variety of services 
that use Management screens. Each operates in the same manner as described 
below. In RAY, a Management screen enables you to select an operation to 
perform on the item that you chose. For example, to start reading the selected 
book.

The basic layout of a management screen is similar to the one described in MENU 
screen – meaning eight options arranged around your touch point.

Touch anywhere on the screen. You will feel RAY vibrate slightly and a tone 
sounds. Wherever you touch the screen becomes the middle of the Menu for 
selection purposes. 

You do not have to touch the screen precisely in the middle.

 

Somewhere near the middle is good enough!

 Anyway, touching too close 

to the sides of the screen is ignored.
