Motion Computing M1300, M1200 manual Ending Accidental Right-Clicks

Chapter 4 Using Your Motion M1200 and M1300 Tablet PCs

don’t inadvertently press it as you write. Pressing the function button while tapping the Pen on the display is like right-clicking with a mouse and will launch pop-up menus.

•Practice pressing the Pen function button with both your index finger and thumb to see which you prefer.

•Relax your grip. Only a light touch is needed to write with the Pen.

•With a little practice, you will learn how to tap on the Tablet PC display to activate buttons and menus.

•The more precise your handwritten input, the more accurate the Tablet PC will be in converting it to text. You can use printed or cursive hand- writing, but a mixture of upper and lowercase letters works best.

•When you hold the Pen over the Tablet PC display, a pointer (small dot) appears under the Pen tip on the display and moves with the Pen on the display. To select something on the display, line up this pointer before you touch (tap) the Pen to the display surface. The digitizer under the Tablet PC display reads the position of the pointer, not where you touch the Pen to the display.

CAUTION: Do not write on the Tablet PC display with ink pens or other pointed objects that could damage it.

A comparison of the Pen and mouse operations is made below:
