The entire display reacts to touch. Make selections by tapping
with a fingernail, fingertip, eraser or stylus. Do not touch the
display with sharp objects (for example a ballpoint pen tip).

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

Press buttons, words or icons to select them.

Press and hold the scroll bar, then move up or down to move

Highlight an item from a list by pressing it once. When the
item has been successfully selected, it will be displayed as
