PREVENTION OF HEARING LOSS
CAUTION: Avoid potential hearing loss
Prolonged exposure to loud sounds (including music) is the most common cause of preventable hearing
loss. Some scientific research suggests that using portable audio devices, such as portable music players and
cellular telephones, at high volume settings for long durations may lead to permanent noise-induced hearing
loss. This includes the use of headphones (including headsets, earbuds and Bluetooth® or other wireless
devices). Exposure to very loud sound has also been associated in some studies with tinnitus (a ringing in the
ear), hypersensitivity to sound and distorted hearing. Individual susceptibility to noise-induced hearing loss
and other potential hearing problems varies.
The amount of sound produced by a portable audio device varies depending on the nature of the sound, the
device, the device settings and the headphones. You should follow some commonsense recommendations
when using any portable audio device:
Set the volume in a quiet environment and select the lowest volume at which you can hear adequately.
When using headphones, turn the volume down if you cannot hear the people speaking near you or if
the person sitting next to you can hear what you are listening to.
Do not turn the volume up to block out noisy surroundings. If you choose to listen to your portable
device in a noisy environment, use noise-cancelling headphones to block out background
environmental noise.
Limit the amount of time you listen. As the volume increases, less time is required before your hearing
could be affected.
Avoid using headphones after exposure to extremely loud noises, such as rock concerts, that might
cause temporary hearing loss. Temporary hearing loss might cause unsafe volumes to sound normal.
Do not listen at any volume that causes you discomfort. If you experience ringing in your ears, hear
muffled speech or experience any temporary hearing difficulty after listening to your portable audio
device, discontinue use and consult your doctor.

You will still be able to receive messages and calls while your device is in Sleep mode. Pressing the POWER
button again, removing the stylus, or incoming calls/messages will wake up your device.
1.5 Navigating on Your Device
There are different ways you can navigate and interact with the interface of your device.
Finger-touch control
A quick and easy way to interact with the Today screen and the whole interface of your device is by touch.
Basically, the following are the types of actions, called finger gestures, you would use when interacting with
your device:
Touch or tap
When selecting items on the screen, such as the Start menu, programs and settings icons, and large on-screen
buttons, simply touch them with your finger. Apply some pressure with your finger pad when touching an
item on the screen.
Tapping means to touch lightly and quickly with your finger pad or fingertip. On screens that display smaller-
size items, you can more accurately select an item by tapping it with your fingertip.
Finger zooming and panning
In programs such as Album and Opera Mobile, you can use finger gestures when zooming and panning. See
Chapter 3, 8 and 11 for details.
Scrolling
When browsing the contacts list, web pages, and documents, slowly swipe your finger vertically across the
screen to scroll. This allows you to scroll by page and to view the content or available selections as you scroll.
The direction of swiping resembles the way you move a printed document as you are reading it.
For detailed instructions, see “Finger scrolling”in Chapter 3. .

Getting Started 19
Slide
Sliding on the touch screen also involves dragging with your finger, but you need to press and hold your
finger with some pressure before you start to drag. While dragging, do not release your finger until you have
reached the target position.
Advancing playback
In players that have a progress bar, such as Windows Media® Player Mobile, slide your finger horizontally on
the progress bar to advance forward or move backward in the music or video you are playing.
Flick
Flicking the screen is similar to swiping, except that you need to swipe your finger in light, quicker strokes.
This finger gesture is always in a vertical direction, such as when flicking the contacts list.
Stylus
You can use the stylus to navigate and interact with the touch
screen. To use the stylus, pull it out from the stylus compartment at
the bottom of the right panel of your device. If the backlight is off,
removing the stylus automatically turns the backlight back on.
The stylus is magnetic and sticks to the side when held close to the
device. This prevents you from accidentally losing or misplacing the
stylus.
Basically, you tap with the stylus to open programs and select items on the screen, and you tap and hold on
the screen to open a shortcut menu. You can also use the stylus the same way as what you do with finger
gestures, such as swiping, sliding and flicking on the screen.
Navigation Control
On the Today screen and in many programs on your device, you can use the Navigation Control for directional
control. Press the directional arrows to navigate up, down, left, and right on the screen. When an item has
been selected on the screen, press the ENTER button (the center button) to confirm your selection.
The Navigation Control is also touch sensitive and can be used for zooming. Slide your finger clockwise
around the Navigation Control to zoom in, counterclockwise to zoom out.
Sliding your finger clockwise Sliding your finger
counterclockwise
The following programs allow you to use the Navigation Control for zooming:
Album•Opera Mobile•
Camera•Word Mobile and Excel Mobile•
Tip If you purchase and install GPS navigation software on your device, you can also use the Navigation Control for
zooming in the GPS software.
