Understanding the screen

• Do not allow the touch screen to come into contact with other electrical devices. Electrostatic discharges can cause the touch screen to malfunction

• To avoid damaging the touch screen, do not tap it with anything sharp or apply excessive pressure to it with your fingertips or other object.

• It is recommended not to use fixed graphics on part or all of the touch screen for extended periods. Doing so may result in afterimages (screen burn-in) or ghosting.

Note: The device may not recognize touch inputs close to the edges of the screen, which are outside of the touch input area.

When you turn on the screen, the soft buttons will appear on the navigation bar at the bottom of the screen. The soft buttons are set to the Recents button, Home button, and Back button by default. The functions of the buttons can change according to the app currently being used or usage environment.
