Using the Touch Screen

variety of touch gestures.
•
Touch

keyboard, select on-screen items (such as application and
settings icons), or press on-screen buttons, simply touch
them with your finger.
•
Touch and Hold
– To open the available options for an item
(for example, a message or link in a web page), touch and
hold the item.
•
Swipe or Slide
– To swipe or slide means to quickly drag your
finger vertically or horizontally across the screen.
•
Drag
– To drag, press and hold your finger with some
pressure before you start to move your finger. While dragging,
do not release your finger until you have reached the target
position.
•

you can zoom in and out by placing two fingers on the screen
