Locking and unlocking
To lock and unlock your XSLATE R12, press the Security
button
on the left side of the Tablet PC.
Using touch
Your XSLATE R12 is equipped with touch, which means you can
use your fingers to select items and open files, zoom in and out,
scroll through browser windows and documents, and more.
Touch works like a mouse. Tap to select an item and double-tap
to open it.
Tip
To open a right-click menu using touch, press your
finger on the display until a square appears. Then lift
your finger and the shortcut menu appears.
Calibrate the pen and your finger so that they can be detected
more accurately on the touchscreen display. You can do this
calibration when you first start using your Tablet PC and when-
ever the pointer doesn’t align with your pen or finger. To start
the application, tap the Tablet Center tile, then tap Tablet, and
then tap Pen and Touch.
Using the pen
An important difference between traditional PCs and tablet
PCs is that you frequently use a digitizer pen instead of a
mouse and keyboard. The XSLATE R12 pen has a pressure-sen-
sitive tip and a function button. Pressing the function button is
equivalent to right-clicking a mouse.

®
, tap the Win-
dows icon in the lower left corner of the screen or press the
Keyboard button. Tap Power and then tap Shut down. If
Windows doesn’t respond, force the tablet PC to shut down by
pressing the Power button
for about five seconds.
Using the fingerprint reader
The XSLATE R12 is equipped with a fingerprint reader so that
you can log on to your Tablet PC by scanning your fingerprint
instead of entering a password. This provides an added level
of security and is a fast and convenient way to log on to your
tablet.
