display and gently push up in a clockwise direction. The display will spring
smoothly into the open position.
Alternatively, use your right index finger to push down gently on the upper-right
corner of the display. The screen will spring into the open position.
The normal operating position of the device is horizontal, with the trackball on the

To close the display, reverse the motion to pivot the display counter-clockwise and
snap it into the closed position.
Do not open or close the display in the wrong direction as this may damage your
