{% hint style="info" %}
It is possible to disable the touch interface by configuring a special function. See  [Special Functions](/v2.8/edgetx-user-manual/user-manual-for-color-screen-radios/model-settings/special-functions.md) for more information.

Touch the EdgeTX icon in the upper left corner of the screen to open the main navigation menu. Touch the desired menu option to select it.
