Tap and double-tap

To open an application or other element on the touch screen, you normally tap it with your finger. 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.
  Tip! When you open a list view, the first item is already highlighted. To open the highlighted item, tap it once.
• 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. 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.

Important!
Use only a stylus approved by Nokia for use with this device. Using any other stylus may invalidate any warranty applying to the device and may damage the touch screen. Avoid scratching the touch screen. Never use an actual pen or pencil or other sharp objects to write on the touch screen.

Select

In this user documentation, opening applications or items by tapping them once or twice is called "selecting". If you need to select several items in a sequence, the menu items to select are separated by arrows.

To drag, place your finger on the screen, and slide it across the screen.

Swipe

To swipe, slide your finger quickly left or right on the screen.

Scroll

In some list views, you can scroll by placing your finger on a list item and dragging up or down.

The touch screen backlight is turned off after a period of inactivity. To turn the screen backlight on, tap the screen.

If the touch screen and keys are locked, tapping the screen does not turn the screen backlight on.
