Basics

Using the touch screen

•  

Do not allow the touch screen to come into contact with other electrical devices. 
Electrostatic discharges can cause the touch screen to malfunction.

•  

To avoid damaging the touch screen, do not tap it with anything sharp or apply 
excessive pressure to it with your fingertips.

•  

The device may not recognise touch inputs close to the edges of the screen, which 
are outside of the touch input area.

•  

Leaving the touch screen idle for extended periods may result in afterimages 
(screen burn-in) or ghosting. Turn off the touch screen when you do not use the 
device.

•  

It is recommended to use fingers when you use the touch screen.

Tapping

To open an app, to select a menu item, to press an on-screen button, or to enter a character 
using the keyboard on the screen, tap it with a finger.
