Move Around Menus and Screens
Your tablet’s touchscreen lets you control
everything through various types of touches
and gestures.
Tap: When you want to type using the
onscreen keyboard, select items such as
application and settings icons, or press
onscreen buttons, simply tap them with
your inger. A light touch works best.
Touch and hold: To display the available
options for an item simply touch and hold
the item.
Flick: Move your inger in lighter, quicker
strokes than swiping. This inger gesture is
always used in a vertical motion, such as
when licking through contacts or a list.
Swipe: Quickly drag your inger vertically or
horizontally across the screen.
Drag: Press and hold your inger with some
pressure before you start to move it. Do not
release your inger until you have reached
the target position.
Rotate: Activate the Screen rotation feature
to automatically change the screen
orientation from portrait to landscape by
turning the tablet sideways.
Slide: This feature allows you to enter text
by sliding a inger from letter to letter, lifting
only between words. See page 14 for
instructions on using this continuous input
method with the various keyboard types.
