Starting Your Handheld and Calibrating the Screen
The first time you start the iQue handheld, setup instructions appear on the screen. These instructions include a calibration screen,
or digitizer. Calibration aligns the internal circuitry of the handheld with its touch-sensitive screen so your handheld can detect
stylus taps correctly. If you notice that the handheld does not respond properly when you tap the screen with the stylus, you may
need to calibrate the screen again.

1. Tap the
Home (Applications Launcher)
icon
. Then tap the
Prefs
icon
(you may need to scroll down).
2. In the pick list in the upper right corner of the screen, tap
