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.

Do not press the touch screen with your fingertips,

●

or use sharp tools on the touch screen. Doing so may

damage the touch screen or cause it to malfunction.

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 liquids. The touch screen may malfunction in

humid conditions or when exposed to liquids.

Leaving the touch screen idle for extended periods

●

may result in afterimages (screen burn-in) or ghosting.

Turn off the touch screen when you do not use the

device.

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.
