Operating Basics
This chapter describes the basic operations of your computer, highlights
the precautions that should be taken when using it.
Touch Screen
Some models are equipped with an optical touch screen.
You can use your finger to manipulate icons, buttons, menu items,
onscreen keyboard, and other items on the touch screen.
Tap
Simply tap your finger on the touch screen to act on items on the
screen, such as application and settings icons, to type letters and
symbols using the onscreen keyboard, or to tap onscreen buttons.
Press & hold
Press & hold an item on the screen until an action occurs. It functions
like the right-click on a standard mouse.
Drag
Tap & hold an item for a moment and then, without lifting your finger,
move your finger on the screen until you reach the target position.
Swipe or slide
To swipe or slide, you quickly move your finger across the surface of
the screen, without pausing when you first touch it (so you don’t drag
an item instead). For example, you slide the screen up or down to
scroll a list.
Double tap
Tap quickly twice on a map or other screen to zoom.
Pinch
In some apps (such as Browser and Gallery), you can zoom in/out by
placing two fingers on the screen at once and pinching them together
or spreading them apart.
Do not tap the touch screen with excessive force. It may cause the
screen to be damaged or the computer to fall over or down.
