Use a Touchscreen
Resistive Technology
Resistive touchscreens are activated when you apply pressure to the touchscreen
with your finger. You can operate a resistive touchscreen while wearing gloves.
Resistive touchscreens accept only single finger input. Multi-finger input or ‘palm
contact’ can cause an incorrect touch input.

Touchscreen
The resistive touchscreen supplied with the computer is factory installed and
calibrated.

From the Windows control panel menu, select Tablet PC Settings.
2.
On the Display tab of Tablet PC Settings, click Calibrate.
3.

ATTENTION:
Do not use sharp instruments to activate the touchscreen.
Scratching the surface of the touchscreen can damage the display.
