Touchpad tips
• There’s no need to press too hard, the

option you require. Be careful not to touch
any other keys around it.
• When the screen light is off, press the
camera key twice on the right hand side of
the phone to restore the standby screen.
• Don’t cover the phone with a case or cover
as the touchpad will not work with any
material covering it.
• When you enter an options menu, the
touchpad will provide a four way arrow
pad. Either touch the arrows to move
through a menu one item at a time, or
slide your finger across the touchpad in the
direction you want to move.
