Useful Information
When using the digitizer/touchscreen
Use the pen (included) with the computer. Do not use pencils, implements with sharp tips or hard objects for screen
operations. The screen may be damaged as a result.
Do not place any object on the surface or press down forcefully with sharp-pointed objects (e.g., nails), or hard ob-
jects that can leave marks (e.g., pencils and ball point pens).
Do not apply pressure to the perimeter of the display panel. The cursor may move to the edge of the display.
Do not operate the computer when such things as dust are on the screen. Do not allow contact with substances
that could dirty the screen, such as oil.
Do not apply too much pressure when operating the screen. Only a light touch is required to operate the screen.
Applying too much pressure may damage the surface.
When the screen becomes dirty, use the Soft Cloth (included) with the computer. (For more information, refer to
