Learn some basics about how to move around on

your device, use the Home screen, and enter text. If

you’re familiar with Android devices, you can

probably skip these pages (although a refresher

course never hurt anyone).

Move AroundYour Device’s Menus

andScreens UsingGestures

Your device’s touchscreen lets you control

everything through various types of touches, or

gestures.

Touch: When you want to press onscreen buttons,

select items such as application and settings icons,

or type, simply touch the screen with your finger. A

light touch works best.

Touch andhold: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. This finger gesture is always used in a

vertical motion, such as when scrolling through

contacts or a message list.

Pinch andSpread:Pinch the screen using your

thumb and forefinger to zoom out or spread the

screen to zoom in when viewing a picture or a Web

page. (Move fingers inward to zoom out and

outward to zoom in.)

Rotate: For most screens, you can automatically

change the screen orientation from portrait to

landscape by turning the device sideways. When

entering text, you can turn the device sideways to

bring up a bigger keyboard.

Note: The Auto-rotate screen check box in

Home > Menu >

System settings > Display needs to be

selected for the screen orientation to

automatically change.
