Pen
The R12 Tablet PC supports touch with a pen as well as with your finger with an R12-Series
digitizer pen. You may find the pen handy when you want to write a quick email or take
notes. The pen is particularly effective for precise data entry and navigation.
The R12 digitizer pen includes a pressure-sensitive tip and a function button. The pen
contains no batteries and requires no external power.
You can purchase additional pens from the
Motion Computing
Accessories
page. For more
information on using the pen, see
Pen and Touch
on page 21.
