About the Touchscreen
Your Pendo Pad comes equipped with an easy-to-use touchscreen.
Our capacitive multi-touchscreen requires gentle fingertip touch on the glass screen to activate pad’s functions. Multiple
fingers may be used to perform gestures (e.g. 2-finger picture zoom).
Please note: Your finger tips must not be covered. A stylus may be used. Make sure it is for capacitive touchscreens.
To avoid damaging the screen, do not touch it with excessive force or with any object other than your finger. For
best response, make sure your hands are clean before using the touchscreen controls.
Protective Film
A thin film has been applied to the touchscreen to protect it during shipping. The protective film should be removed before
use. To remove it, simply take a corner of the film and peel it away from the screen.
Touchscreen Actions
You can control the functions of the Pendo Pad by using the touchscreen in combination with the three touch keys located
on the bezel. To control the pad with the touchscreen, use your fingertip to manipulate icons, buttons, menu items, the
on-screen keyboard, and other items displayed on the screen.
You can perform the following actions on the touchscreen using your fingertip or appropriate stylus.
Touch:
To activate an on-screen item (e.g., application icons, buttons, menu items, and the letter/symbols
of the on-screen keyboard), simply touch them with your fingertip.
Touch and
Hold:
Some on-screen items have an alternate action if you touch and hold it (e.g., opening an alternate
menu, or to activate the drag function). To touch and hold an item, touch the item and do not lift your
fingertip until the action occurs.
Drag:
Drag an on-screen item to change its position (e.g., an application icon on the home screen).
To drag an item, touch and hold it for a moment, then without lifting your fingertip, move your
fingertip on the screen until the item reaches its target destination.
Swipe:
Swipe up/down on the screen to scroll through a list. On some screens, you may be able to swipe
left/right to change the view.
To swipe, touch the screen and then quickly move your fingertip across the screen without lifting
your fingertip. Do not pause on the screen with your fingertip at the initial point of contact or you may
accidentally drag an item instead.
Double-tap:
Quickly tap the screen twice on a webpage or other application screen to zoom (the application must
support the double-tap/zoom function). Within the browser, double-tapping a webpage section will
cause the browser to zoom and fit that section to the width of the screen.
