Refer to your operating system’s manual for information on any
of the questions you are unsure how to answer.
Interacting with the Active Digitizer and/or Touch Screen
Unlike a regular laptop or desktop PC, standard navigational
activities on a Tablet PC are typically completed using your
fingers or a stylus pen. Navigating with a touch screen is differ-
ent from navigating with a mouse, while using a stylus pen in
Active Digitizer mode on the eo a7400 is actually quite similar to
navigating with a mouse.
Touch Screen
The eo a7400 features a capacitive touch screen that supports
multi-finger touch (up to four points). The capacitive panel will
only react to the touch of bare skin, a special capacitive stylus
pen, or for medical professionals, a latex gloved hand.
Simply tap on the element you wish to interact with in order to
select it, or if the element is a button, to activate it. Sliding your
finger while touching the screen will move the on-screen pointer
around as if you were using a mouse and holding down the left
mouse button. In other words, you would be performing what is
known as a drag operation.
Also, as the screen is sensitive to touch, resting your palm on
it while tapping with your finger may make the pointer react
unpredictably.
Tapping on the screen will perform a standard left mouse button
click. Tapping twice in succession is the same as double-clicking
your mouse button. Pressing and holding your finger tip on
the screen for about a second or so will perform a right mouse
button click. An animated circle will draw around the tip of your
finger. Lift your finger from the screen to complete the click.
TIP: When trying to select or activate something on the screen with a
capacitive stylus pen, pay attention to the position of the pointer icon
instead of the end of your finger.
