Calibrating the Pen to Increase Its Accuracy

Be sure to calibrate your Pen the first time you start your Tablet PC, then at other times if the onscreen pointer doesn’t seem to line up with the Pen tip. Have each person using the Tablet PC set their own calibration; the Tablet PC stores Pen settings on a per-user basis. Calibration ensures the accuracy of the Pen and adjusts the Tablet PC display for different people.

To open the calibration program:

1.Open the Motion Dashboard and tap the Calibrate but- ton. Or double-tap the Tablet and Pen Settings icon in the System Tray, located in the lower right-hand corner

of the display window. This opens the Tablet and Pen Settings win- dow.

NOTE: This icon may be hidden in the System Tray. Tap the System Tray left-arrow to open all hidden icons.

2.Choose the Settings tab.

3.Tap Calibrate while holding the Pen in a normal writing manner.

5.Rotate the Tablet PC display and repeat this for each orientation (0o, 90o, 180o, or 270o).
