mouse. Instead, use the stylus pen provided with your

can carry it with the phone. When you aren’t using the
stylus pen, insert it back into the stylus pen holder.

mouse click on a computer.
Drag : Hold the stylus pen on the screen and drag it across
the screen to move text.
Tap-and-hold : Tap and hold the stylus pen on an item to
see a list of actions available for that item. Tap the action
you want to perform on the pop-up menu that appears.

card used for extra storage capacity for data, music files,
voice memos, and more. These can be transferred between
your phone and your computer. Use a memory card when it
is inconvenient to perform a PopSync operation.
