There are two ways of reading the notifications. 

1) Touch-Assisted Scroll Mode

- Press the right “Touch Sensor” once to display the next 4 characters of the message. Press the left “Touch Sensor” to read the previous 4 characters. When at the end of the message, vibration will occur to notify that it is the end of the message. Here, press the “Select Button” to go back to the beginning of the message.
