When receiving and making calls, the proximity sensor automatically turns
the backlight off and locks the touch screen by sensing when the phone is
near your ear. This extends battery life and prevents you from unintentionally
activating the touch screen during calls.

and touch screen functions. Do not cover the proximity sensor with screen
protectors or any other type of protective film. This could cause the sensor to

Touch screen tips
Here are some tips on how to navigate on your phone.
• Tap or touch – A single finger tap selects items, links, shortcuts and letters on the
on-screen keyboard.
• Touch and hold – Touch and hold an item on the screen by tapping it and not
lifting your finger until an action occurs.
• Drag – Touch and hold an item for a moment and then, without lifting your finger,
move your finger on the screen until you reach the target position. You can drag
items on the Home screen to reposition them.
• Swipe or slide – To swipe or slide, quickly move your finger across the surface
of the screen, without pausing when you first tap it (so you don't drag an item
instead).
• Double-tap – Double-tap to zoom on a webpage or a map.
• Pinch-to-Zoom – Use your index finger and thumb in a pinching or spreading
motion to zoom in or out when using the browser, Maps, or when viewing pictures.
• Rotate the screen – From many applications and menus, the screen orientation
adjusts to the device's physical orientation.
NOTE:
• Do not press too hard; the tap screen is sensitive enough to pick up a light,
yet firm tap.
• Use the tip of your finger to tap the option you want. Be careful not to tap
any other buttons.
