Tap and double-tap
To open an application or other element on the touch screen, you normally tap it with your finger or the stylus. However, to open the following items, you must tap them twice.

• List items in an application, such as the Drafts folder in the folder list in Messaging.
• Applications and folders in the menu when using the list view type
• Files in a file list, for example, an image in the images and videos view in Gallery.

Tip!
When you open a list view, the first item is already highlighted. To open the highlighted item, tap it once.
If you tap a file or similar item once, it is not opened, it becomes highlighted. To see the options available for the item, select Options or, if available, select an icon from a toolbar.

Drag
To drag, place your finger or the stylus on the screen, and slide it across the screen.
Example: To scroll up or down on a web page, drag the page with your finger or stylus.

Swipe
To swipe, slide your finger quickly left or right on the screen.
Example: When viewing an image, to view the next or previous image, swipe the image left or right, respectively.

Scroll
To scroll up or down in lists that have a scroll bar, drag the slider of the scroll bar. In some list views, you can scroll by placing your finger or stylus on a list item and dragging up or down.
Example: To scroll through contacts, place your finger or stylus on a contact, and drag up or down.

Tip!
To view a brief description of icons and buttons, place your finger or stylus on the icon or button. Descriptions are not available for all icons and buttons.

To lock or unlock the touch screen and the touch keys, slide the lock switch on the side of the device.

When the touch screen and touch keys are locked, the touch screen is switched off and the keys are inactive.

The screen and keys may be locked automatically after a period of inactivity.
