Always disconnect the charger and other accessories from your handset before inserting and removing your SIM card. Slide the SIM card into the SIM card holder. Make sure that the SIM card is properly inserted and the gold contact area on the card is facing downwards. To remove the SIM card, press down lightly and pull it in the reverse direction.

Picsel Viewer Pan and Zoom Mode

The document you wish to see is often larger than the space available on the screen. There are two ways to see more of it. To pan (or ‘scroll’) to a different part of the document, simply stroke your pen across the screen in the direction you would like the page to move.

To pan the page up, touch and hold your pen somewhere near the middle of the screen and draw a line towards the top, then take your pen off the screen. You can do this repeatedly so that you can view any size of document. Further, you can ‘throw’ the document across the screen, and it will continue moving after you have released the pen. This gives you time to start another stroke. This inertia can be used to save time while you pan around the document.

You can also zoom the size of the document, so that more or less of it is visible at a different size. The tap-and-stroke gesture for this is to tap your pen briefly near the middle of the screen then touch and hold it again in the same place (a “double-tap”). Now, stroke your pen up to zoom in, or down to zoom out. Release your pen when you reach the scale you like. Using this, you can view small print details on diagrams, or can get an overview of a whole page.
