Navigating On Your Device

Device Basics

There are different ways you can navigate and interact with the interface of your device:

䢇 Finger-touch control

䢇 Stylus

䢇 Navigation Control

Finger-touch Control

A quick and easy way to interact with the home screen and the whole interface of your device is by touch.
Use the following actions, or finger gestures, to navigate with your device:

Touch or tap

When selecting items on the screen, such as the Home screen tabs, Start menu, programs and settings
icons, and large onscreen buttons, simply touch them with your finger. Apply some pressure with your finger
pad when touching an item on the screen.

“Tapping” is touching the screen lightly and quickly with your finger pad or fingertip. On screens that display
smaller-size items, you can more accurately select an item by tapping it with your fingertip.

Swipe

“Swiping” is dragging your finger vertically or horizontally across the screen. The following are some
instances when you would use swiping:

䢇 Flipping on the Home screen

Swipe your finger vertically to flip through favorite contacts, messages, music albums, photos, and
more. For more information, see “Using the TouchFLO 3D Home Screen” on page 37.

Section 2A. Device Basics 17

䢇 Scrolling

When browsing the contacts list, Web pages, documents, and certain selection lists on the Home
screen (such as the

All Programs list), slowly swipe your finger vertically across the screen to scroll. This

allows you to scroll by page and to view the content or available selections as you scroll.
People usually move their eyes and not a document when reading. For detailed instructions, see

“Finger-scrolling” on page 52.

Slide

Sliding on the touch screen also involves dragging with your finger, but you need to press and hold your
finger with some pressure before you start to drag. While dragging, do not release your finger until you have
reached the target position.

The following are some instances when you would use sliding:

䢇 Switching between Home screen tabs

Slide your finger left and right to switch between the Home screen tabs. For more information, see
“Switching Between Tabs on the Home Screen” on page 38.

䢇 Advancing playback

In players that have a progress bar, such as the Home screen’s Sprint Music tab and Windows Media®
Player Mobile, slide your finger horizontally on their progress bar to advance forward or move
backward in the music or video you are playing. For more information about the Home screen’s Sprint
Music tab, see “Sprint Music” on page 43. For more information about Windows Media Player Mobile,
see “Using Windows Media Player Mobile” on page 100.

Flick

Flicking the screen is similar to swiping, except that you need to swipe your finger in light, quicker strokes.
This finger gesture is always in a vertical direction, such as when flicking the contacts list. See “Finger­scrolling” on page 52 for details.

Finger-zooming and finger-panning

In programs such as Album and Opera Mobile (page 132), you can use finger gestures when zooming and
panning.

Stylus

You can use the stylus to navigate and interact with the touch screen. To use the stylus, pull it out from the
stylus compartment at the bottom of the right panel of your device. If the backlight is off, removing the stylus
automatically turns the backlight back on.

The stylus is magnetic and sticks to the side when held close to the device. This prevents you from
accidentally losing or misplacing the stylus.

18 Section 2A. Device Basics

Basically, you tap with the stylus to open programs and select items on the screen, and you tap and hold on
the screen to open a shortcut menu. You can also use the stylus the same way as what you do with finger
gestures, such as swiping, sliding and flicking on the screen.

Navigation Control

On the Home screen and in many programs on your device, you can use the Navigation Control for
directional control. Press the directional arrows to navigate up, down, left, and right on the screen. When an
item has been selected on the screen, press the

The Navigation Control is also touch sensitive and can be used for zooming. Slide your finger clockwise
around the Navigation Control to zoom in, counterclockwise to zoom out.

Sliding your finger clockwise

Enter key (the center button) to confirm your selection.

Your device features built-in Bluetooth technology, allowing you to share information more easily than ever before.

Bluetooth is a short-range communications technology that allows you to connect wirelessly to a number of
Bluetooth devices, such as headsets and hands-free car kits, and Bluetooth-enabled handhelds, computers,
printers, and wireless phones. The Bluetooth communication range is usually up to approximately 30 feet.

This section shows you how to use Bluetooth on your device, including turning Bluetooth on and off,
connecting to another Bluetooth device such as a Bluetooth stereo headset, and more.

Using Bluetooth

Bluetooth Modes

Bluetooth on your device has three different modes:

䢇 On. Bluetooth is turned on. Your device can detect other Bluetooth-enabled devices within range, but

cannot be detected by other Bluetooth-enabled devices.

䢇 Visible. Bluetooth is turned on, and all other Bluetooth-enabled devices within range can detect your

device.

䢇 Off. Bluetooth is turned off. In this mode, you can neither send nor receive information using Bluetooth.

Notes

• By default, Bluetooth is turned off. If you turn it on and then turn off your device, Bluetooth also turns off. When
you turn on your device again, Bluetooth automatically turns on.
