Understanding Your Phone 25
Screen Navigation
Using the touch screen display and the keys, you can
navigate the features of your phone and enter
characters. The following conventions are used in
this manual to describe the navigation action in the
procedures.
Navigating Through the Screens
The following terms describe the most common
hardware and on-screen actions.
• Press and hold: Pressing relates to use of the hardware
keys and buttons to select or activate an item. For
example: press the Navigation key to scroll through a
menu. Some buttons and keys require you to press and
hold them to activate a feature, for example, you press
the Lock key to lock and unlock the phone.
• Tap: Use a brief touch to select items on the display or to
enter text on the virtual QWERTY keyboard. For example:
touch an Application icon to open the application. A light
touch works best.
• Touch and hold: Touch and hold an icon or key to open
the available options, or to access a pop-up menu. For
example: press and hold from the Home screen to access
a menu of customization options.
• Flick: Move your finger in lighter, quicker strokes than
swiping. This finger gesture is always used in a vertical
motion, such as when flicking through contacts or a
message list.
