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.

You can control your touch screen with the following actions:

●● Touch: To act on items on the screen, such as applications or widgets, to type letters and symbols using the on-screen keyboard, or to press on-screen keys, you simply touch them with your finger.

●● Drag: Touch and hold an item for a moment and then, without lifting your finger, move your finger on the screen until you reach the target position. For example, you drag items on the Home screen to reposition them. ► p. 22
