Using a stylus pen
Your phone has many of the same functions as a portable
personal computer, but does not have a keyboard or a
mouse. Instead, use the stylus pen provided with your
phone to access, run, or enter information using the LCD
touch screen.

can carry it with the phone. When you aren’t using the
stylus pen, insert it back into the stylus pen holder.
Use the stylus pen to:
Tap : Softly touch the screen once with the stylus pen to
select or execute a file or command. A tap works like a
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.
Note : To prevent scratches, do not use an actual pen, pencil or
other sharp objects to tap or write on the screen.
