Using the Touch Screen
Your tablet’s touch screen lets you control actions through a
variety of touch gestures.
• Touch
When you want to type using the onscreen keyboard, select
items, or press onscreen buttons, simply touch them with your
finger.
• Touch and Hold
To open the available options for an item (for example, a
message or link in a Web page), touch and hold the item.
• Swipe or Slide
To swipe or slide means to quickly drag your finger vertically or
horizontally across the screen.
• Drag
To drag, press and hold your finger with some pressure before
you start to move your finger. While dragging, do not release
your finger until you have reached the target position.
• Pinch
In some apps (such as Maps, Browser, and Gallery), you can
zoom in and out by placing two fingers on the screen at once
and pinching them together (to zoom out) or spreading them
apart (to zoom in).
• Rotate the tablet to change from portrait to landscape.
