3Com TRGpro manual Tapping and typing, Tap with the stylus to get things done

Important: Do not force the battery door. When the batteries are correctly installed, the battery door clips smoothly into place. If you feel resistance when replacing the door, make sure the door is aligned with the slots on the back of your handheld computer, and that the batteries are firmly seated in the battery compartment.

Tapping and typing

Tap with the stylus to get things done

Like using a mouse to click elements on a computer screen, using the stylus to tap elements on your screen is the basic action that gets things done on your handheld computer.

The first time you start your TRGpro handheld computer, setup instructions appear on the screen. These instructions include a calibration screen, or digitizer. Calibration aligns the internal circuitry of your handheld computer with its touch-sensitive screen so that when you tap an element on the screen, the handheld computer can detect exactly which task you want to perform.

Important: Always use the point of the stylus for tapping or making strokes on the handheld computer screen. Never use an actual pen, pencil, or other sharp object to write on the handheld computer screen.

With your handheld computer turned on, you can tap the screen to perform many operations, such as the following:

■Open applications

■Choose menu commands

■Initiate a global Find operation

■Select options in dialog boxes

■Open the onscreen keyboards

Just as you can drag the mouse to select text or move objects on your computer, you can also drag the stylus to select text. You can also use the stylus to drag the slider of any scroll bar.
