Tapping and typing
Tap with the stylus to get things done
Like using a mouse to click elements on a computer screen, using the
stylus to tap elements on your PC companion screen is the basic action
that gets things done on your PC companion.
The first time you start your PC companion, setup instructions appear
on the screen. These instructions include a calibration screen.
Calibration aligns the internal circuitry of your PC companion with its
touch-sensitive screen so that when you tap an element on the screen,
the PC companion can detect exactly which task you want to perform.
Important
: Always use the point of the stylus for tapping or making
strokes on the PC companion screen. Never use an actual
pen, pencil, or other sharp object to write on the PC
companion screen.
With your PC companion turned on, you can tap the screen to do
many operations, such as the following:
■
Open applications
■
Choose menu commands
■
Initiate a Find operation to search through applications installed
on your PC companion for specific text (Find operations do not
search through applications on expansion cards)
■
Select options in dialog boxes
■
Open the onscreen keyboards
Just as you can drag the mouse to select text or move objects on your
computer, you can also drag the stylus to select text. You can also use
the stylus to drag the slider of any scroll bar.
