5.1.1 Tips for using the touch screen
The whole screen responds to touch. To choose an option, tap
with a fingernail, fingertip, an eraser or a specialised stylus. Do
not touch the screen with sharp objects, such as the tip of a
ballpoint pen.

Do not place anything on top of the screen, to prevent
damage or scratching on the screen.

• Use scroll bars to move up and down long lists very quickly.
Press and hold the scroll bar, then move up or down to move
through the list.
• Highlight an item from a list by pressing it once. When the
item has been successfully selected, it will be displayed as
reversed text (light text on a dark background).

screen are described in Table 2 .
The central keypad changes to reflect the chosen entry mode.
Press a key repeatedly until the desired character appears on the
screen. A space can be entered by using the underscore on the
YZ_ key.
