your device, use the Home screen, and enter text. If
you’re familiar with Android devices, you can

through various types of touches, or gestures.
Touch: When you want to press onscreen buttons,
select items such as application and settings icons,

light touch works best.
Touch and hold: To open the available options for an
item (for example, options for a contact), simply
touch and hold the item.
Drag:Touch and hold your finger before you start to
move it. Do not release your finger until you have
reached the target position.
Slide or Flick: To slide, quickly move your finger
vertically or horizontally across the screen. To flick,
move your finger in lighter, quicker strokes than
sliding. When you’re flicking through a long list,
touch the screen to stop scrolling.
