unnecessarily.

Your Home screen
Touch screen tips
With the touch of your finger, you can access available applications, make
menu selections, and access data saved to your phone. The following terms are
used for describing the different available actions using the touchscreen:
Ta p - A single finger tap selects items, links, shortcuts and letters on the
on-screen keyboard.
Touch and hold - Touch and hold an item on the screen by touching it and
not lifting your finger until an action occurs. For example, to open a contact's
available options, touch and hold the contact in the Contacts list until the
context menu opens.
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. You
can drag items on the Home screen to reposition them.
Swipe or slide - To swipe or slide, 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 can slide the screen up or down to scroll
through a list, or browse through the different Home screens by swiping from
left to right (and vice versa).
Double-tap - Double-tap to zoom on a Web page or a map. For example,
quickly double-tap a section of a Web page to adjust that section to fit the
width of the screen. You can also double-tap to zoom in and out when using
Maps.
Pinch-to-Zoom - Use your index finger and thumb in a pinch or spread motion
to zoom in or out when using the browser, Maps, Camera, or browsing pictures.
Rotate the screen - From many applications and menus, the orientation of the
screen adjusts to the device's physical orientation.
20
NOTE:
• To select an item, tap the center of the icon.
• Do not to press too hard; the touch screen is sensitive enough to pick up a
light, firm touch.
• Use the tip of your finger to tap the option you want. Be careful not to tap any
other keys or icons.
Proximity sensor
When receiving and making calls, this sensor automatically turns the backlight
off and locks the touch keypad by sensing when the phone is near your
ear. This extends battery life and prevents the touch keypad from activating
unintentionally during calls.

proximity sensor. Doing so will not allow you to turn the screen on.
