Controlling the touchscreen

•  

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

•  

To avoid damaging the touchscreen, 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 touchscreen idle for extended periods may result in afterimages 
(screen burn-in) or ghosting. Turn off the touchscreen when you do not use the 
device.

•  

It is recommended to use fingers when you use the touchscreen.

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.

Tapping and holding

Tap and hold an item or the screen for more than 2 seconds to access available options.
