20 Getting Started
Switch to Sleep mode when not in use
Press and immediately release the POWER button to turn off the display temporarily and switch your device
to Sleep mode. Sleep mode suspends your device to a low power state while the display is off in order to save
battery power.
Your device automatically goes into Sleep mode when you leave the device idle after a certain period of time.
You will still be able to receive messages and calls while your device is in Sleep mode. Pressing the POWER
button again, removing the stylus, or incoming calls/messages will wake up your device.
1.5 Navigating on Your Device
There are different ways you can navigate and interact with the interface of your device.
Finger-touch control
A quick and easy way to interact with the Today screen and the whole interface of your device is by touch.
Basically, the following are the types of actions, called finger gestures, you would use when interacting with
your device:
Touch or tap
When selecting items on the screen, such as the Today screen items, Start menu, programs and settings icons,
and large on-screen buttons, simply touch them with your finger. Apply some pressure with your finger pad
when touching an item on the screen.
Tapping means to touch lightly and quickly with your finger pad or fingertip. On screens that display smaller-
size items, you can more accurately select an item by tapping it with your fingertip or the stylus.
Swipe
To swipe means to drag your finger vertically or horizontally across the screen. The following are some
instances when you would use swiping:
Flipping on the Home screen
If you have TouchFLO 3D enabled, you can swipe your finger vertically on the Home screen to flip
through favorite contacts, messages, music albums, photos, and more. For more information, see “Using
the TouchFLO 3D Home Screen” in Chapter 3.
Scrolling
When browsing the contacts list, web pages, documents, and certain selection lists on the Home screen
(such as the All Programs list), slowly swipe your finger vertically across the screen to scroll. This allows
you to scroll by page and to view the content or available selections as you scroll.
The direction of swiping resembles the way you move a printed document as you are reading it. For
detailed instructions, see “Finger scrolling” in Chapter 3.
Slide
Sliding on the touch screen also involves dragging with your finger, but you need to press and hold your
finger with some pressure before you start to drag. While dragging, do not release your finger until you have
reached the target position.
The following are some instances when you would use sliding:
Switching between Home screen tabs
Slide your finger left and right to switch between the Home screen tabs. For more information, see
“Using the TouchFLO 3D Home screen“ in Chapter 3.
Advancing playback
In players that have a progress bar, such as the Home screen’s Music tab and Windows Media® Player
Mobile, slide your finger horizontally on the progress bar to advance forward or move backward in the
music or video you are playing.
For more information about the Home screen’s Music tab, see “Music” in Chapter 3.
For more information about Windows Media® Player Mobile, see “Using Windows Media® Player Mobile” in
Chapter 11.
