everything through various types of touches

and gestures.

onscreen keyboard, select items such as

application and settings icons, or press

onscreen buttons, simply tap them with

your inger. A light touch works best.

Touch and hold: To display the available

options for an item simply touch and hold

the item.

strokes than swiping. This inger gesture is

always used in a vertical motion, such as

when licking through contacts or a list.

Swipe: Quickly drag your inger vertically or

horizontally across the screen.

Drag: Press and hold your inger with some

pressure before you start to move it. Do not

release your inger until you have reached

the target position.

Rotate: Activate the Screen rotation feature

to automatically change the screen

orientation from portrait to landscape by

turning the tablet sideways.

Slide: This feature allows you to enter text

by sliding a inger from letter to letter, lifting

only between words. See page 14 for

instructions on using this continuous input
