Hints:
•
If you find that using a pen is somewhat difficult, try the eye-hand coordination exercise.
•
Pointing is easier when you orient the tablet so the screen cursor follows the same
direction as your hand movements on the tablet.
When positioning the screen cursor and operating a pen button, the pen tip
needs to be within 5 mm (0.20 inch) of the tablet surface. You do not need to
touch the tablet with the pen tip in order to move the screen cursor or use a
pen button.
The cordless mouse works similarly to the pen, and works only over the
active area of the tablet.

Try moving the screen cursor by lifting
the pen and placing the pen tip in a
new location on the tablet. The cursor
instantly jumps to the new location.
