Basic Operations & Home screen

This chapter describes the basic operations of your tablet and the Home screen.

Using the Touch Screen

You can use your finger to manipulate icons, buttons, menu items, the onscreen keyboard, and other items on the touch screen.

Tap

Simply tap your finger on the touch screen to act on items on the screen, such as application and settings icons, to type letters and symbols using the onscreen keyboard, or to tap onscreen buttons.

Tap & hold

Tap & hold an item on the screen by tapping it and not lifting your finger until an action occurs. For example, to customize the Home screen, you tap an empty area on the Home screen until the screen settings utility launches.

Drag

Tap & hold an item for a moment and then, without lifting your finger, move your finger on the screen until you reach the target position. You can drag items on the Home screen to reposition them.

Swipe or slide

To swipe or slide, you quickly move your finger across the surface of the screen, without pausing when you first touch it (so you don’t drag an item instead). For example, you slide the screen up or down to scroll a list.

Double tap

Tap quickly twice on a webpage, map or other screen to zoom.

Pinch

In some apps (such as Browser and Gallery), you can zoom in/out by placing two fingers on the screen at once and pinching them together or spreading them apart.
