Important: Do not force the battery door. When the batteries are
correctly installed, the battery door clips smoothly into
place. If you feel resistance when replacing the door,
make sure the door is aligned with the slots on the back of
your handheld computer, and that the batteries are firmly
seated in the battery compartment.
Tapping and typing
Tap with the stylus to get things done
Like using a mouse to click elements on a computer screen, using the
stylus to tap elements on your screen is the basic action that gets
things done on your handheld computer.
The first time you start your TRGpro handheld computer, setup
instructions appear on the screen. These instructions include a
calibration screen, or digitizer. Calibration aligns the internal circuitry
of your handheld computer with its touch-sensitive screen so that
when you tap an element on the screen, the handheld computer can
detect exactly which task you want to perform.
Important : Always use the point of the stylus for tapping or making
strokes on the handheld computer screen. Never use an
actual pen, pencil, or other sharp object to write on the
handheld computer screen.
With your handheld computer turned on, you can tap the screen to
perform many operations, such as the following:
■
Open applications
■
Choose menu commands
■
Initiate a global Find operation
■
Select options in dialog boxes
■
Open the onscreen keyboards
Just as you can drag the mouse to select text or move objects on your
computer, you can also drag the stylus to select text. You can also use
the stylus to drag the slider of any scroll bar.
