18Your Home screen Your Home screen Touch screen tips Here are some tips on how to navigate on your device. • Tap or touch – 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 tapping it and not lifting your finger until an action occurs. • 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 tap it (so you don't drag an item instead). • Double-tap – Double-tap to zoom on a webpage or a map. • Pinch-to-Zoom – Use your index finger and thumb in a pinching or spreading motion to zoom in or out when using the browser, Maps, or when viewing pictures. • Rotate the screen – From many applications and menus, the screen orientation adjusts to the device's physical orientation. NOTE:• Do not press too hard; the tap screen is sensitive enough to pick up a light, yet firm tap. • Use the tip of your finger to tap the option you want. Be careful not to tap any other buttons.
