Use the touch screen

Your device’s touch screen lets you easily select items or perform functions. Learn basic actions to use the touch screen.

•To avoid scratching the touch screen, do not use sharp tools.

•Do not allow the touch screen to come into contact with other electrical devices. Electrostatic discharges can cause the touch screen to malfunction.

•Do not allow the touch screen to come into contact with water. The touch screen may malfunction in humid conditions or when exposed to water.

•For optimal use of the touch screen, remove the screen protection film before using your device.

•Your touch screen has a layer that detects small electrical charges emitted by the human body. For best performance, tap the touch screen with your fingertip. The touch screen will not react to touches of sharp tools, such as a stylus or pen.

Control your touch screen with the following actions:

•Tap: Tap once with your finger to select or launch a menu, option, or application.

•Tap and hold: Tap an item and hold it for more than 2 seconds to open a pop-up option list.

• Scroll: Tap and drag your finger up, down, left, or right to move to items on lists.

•Drag and drop: Tap and hold your finger on an item, and then drag your finger to move the item.
