1.11 Navigation basics

To use the N2 you will have to learn a few basic navigation principles, which you can use in every application. You never have to press the optical screen; only a light touch or sweep, is needed.

To learn how to navigate, you can think of the screen as being divided into three horizontal areas and three vertical areas.

1.12 Horizontal areas:

1. The upper area of the screen is called the Change view area.

2. The centre of the screen is called the Navigation area.

3. The bottom area of the screen is called the Accept/Close view area.

In the Change view area you sweep from left to right or from right to left to change views.The Navigation area is used to navigate within a view. Put your finger in the very middle part of the screen and sweep up/down/right/left in the Navigation area to navigate within a view.

Right under Navigation area is the Notification area. In the Notification area, icons for active programs will show if they need some kind of input from the user. For example if you have an active alarm that you have not dismissed, the alarm icon will show in this area.

In the Accept/Close view area you sweep from the left to the right to make an Accept sweep and from the right to the left to make a Close view sweep.

1.13 Vertical areas:

1. The left part of the screen is called the Start menu sweep area.

2. The middle part of the screen is called the Keyboard sweep area.

3. The right part of the screen is called the Tools menu sweep area.

In the vertical areas you start the sweep at the very bottom of the screen. Sweep upwards. The sweep should be about half the height of the screen.

A sweep in the left part of the screen opens the start menu. A sweep in the middle opens the keyboard and a sweep in the right part of the screen opens the tools menu.
