Using the touch screen display and the keys, you can navigate the features of your device
and enter characters. The following conventions are used in this manual to describe the
navigation action in the procedures.

Navigating Through the Screens
The following terms describe the most common hardware and on‑screen actions.
●Press and hold: Pressing relates to use of the hardware keys and buttons to select
or activate an item. For example: press the Navigation key to scroll through a menu.
Some buttons and keys require you to press and hold them to activate a feature, for
example, you press the Lock key to lock and unlock the device.
●Tap: Use a brief touch to select items on the display or to enter text on the
virtual QWERTY keyboard. For example: touch an Application icon to open the
application. A light touch works best.
●Touch and hold: Touch and hold an icon or key to open the available options, or
to access a pop‑up menu. For example: touch and hold from the Home screen to
access a menu of customization options.
●Flick: Move your finger in lighter, quicker strokes than swiping. This finger gesture
is always used in a vertical motion, such as when flicking through contacts or a
message list.
●Swipe or slide: Quickly drag your finger vertically or horizontally across the screen.
This allows you to move the area of focus or to scroll through a list. For example:
slide your finger left or right on the Home screen to scroll among the seven panels.
●Drag: Press and hold your finger with some pressure before you start to move it. Do
not release your finger until you have reached the target position.
