Basics

Using the touch screen

Use only fingers to use the touch screen.

•Do not allow the touch screen to come into contact with other electrical devices.

Electrostatic discharges can cause the touch screen to malfunction.

•To avoid damaging the touch screen, do not tap it with anything sharp or apply excessive pressure to it with your fingertips.

•The device may not recognise touch inputs close to the edges of the screen, which are outside of the touch input area.

•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.
