The main way to control Android features is by using your finger to touch icons, buttons, menu items, the onscreen keyboard, and other items on the
touch screen.
Touch: To act on items on the screen, such as application and settings icons, to type letters and symbols using the onscreen keyboard, or to press
onscreen buttons, you simply touch them with your finger.
Touch & hold: Touch & hold an item on the screen by touching it and not lifting your finger until an action occurs. For example, to open a menu for
customizing the Home screen, you touch an empty area on the Home screen until the menu opens.
Drag: Touch & hold an item for a moment and then, without lifting your finger, move your finger on the screen until you reach the target position. You
drag items on the Home screen to reposition them and you drag to open the Notification panel.
Swipe or slide: To swipe or slide, you quickly move your finger across the surface of the screen, without pausing when you first touch (so you don’t
drag an item instead). For example, you slide the screen up or down to scroll a list, and in some Calendar views you swipe quickly across the screen to
change the range of time visible.
Double-tap: Tap quickly twice on a webpage, map, or other screen to zoom. For example, you double-tap a section of a webpage in Browser to zoom
that section to fit the width of the screen. You can also double-tap to control the Camera zoom, In Maps, and in other applications, Double-tapping after
pinching to zoom in some applications, such as browser, reflows a column of text to fit the width of the screen.
Pinch: In some applications (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 screen: On most screens, the orientation of the screen rotates with the phone as you turn it from upright to its slide and back again. You can
turn this feature on and off.

4RF Exposure Information (SAR)
24
This mobile phone meets the government’s requirements for exposure to radio waves.
This phone is designed and manufactured not to exceed the emission limits for exposure to radio frequency (RF) energy set by the Federal Communications
Commission of the U.S. Government.
The exposure standard for wireless mobile phones employs a unit of measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit set by the FCC
is 1.6W/kg. *Tests for SAR are conducted using standard operating positions accepted by the FCC with the phone transmitting at its highest certified power level in
all tested frequency bands. Although the SAR is determined at the highest certified power level, the actual SAR level of the phone while operating can be well
below the maximum value. This is because the phone is designed to operate at multiple power levels so as to use only the power required to reach the network. In
general, the closer you are to a wireless base station, the lower the power output.
The highest SAR value for the model phone as reported to the FCC when tested for use at the ear is 1.454W/kg and when worn on the body, as described in this user
guide, is 1.203W/kg (Body-worn measurements differ among phone models, depending upon available enhancements and FCC requirements.)
While there may be differences between the SAR levels of various phones and at various positions, they all meet the government requirement.
The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this model phone with all reported SAR levels evaluated as in compliance with the FCC RF exposure
guidelines. SAR information on this model phone is on file with the FCC and can be found under the Display Grant section of http://www.fcc.gov/oet/fccid after
searching on FCC ID: YHLBLUDASH32.
For body worn operation, this phone has been tested and meets the FCC RF exposure guidelines for use with an accessory that contains no metal and the positions the
handset a minimum of 1.0 cm from the body. Use of other enhancements may not ensure compliance with FCC RF exposure guidelines. If you do no t use a
body-worn accessory and are not holding the phone at the ear, position the handset a minimum of 1.0 cm from your body when the phone is switched on.
http://www.fcc.gov/oet/fccid
