speaking, we usually “use the stylus to perform basic actions such as tap,
drag, and tap and hold” on the touch screen. Other actions such as reset
and cold boot will require the use of the stylus tip.
Pull the stylus to full-length to make it easier to tap the screen during
operation. When kept completely in the stylus holder, the stylus length
shortens.
Avoid heavily pressing on the touch screen with the stylus or your
fingers.
