Hand Held Products 7900 manual Selecting Programs, Pop-Up Menus, Using the Touch Screen

Using the Touch Screen

Hand Held Products recommends using screen protectors to protect the touch screen; especially when used with applications that require high-volume interfacing with the touch screen. Screen protectors help prevent damage to the touch screen display and are easily installed. Screen protectors can be purchased at any major computer retail store or directly from Hand Held Products; contact Hand Held Products directly for part numbers and pricing.

For touch screen input, use the included stylus or your finger. The method you choose depends on which one is

!appropriate for your application. While there is a great deal of variation in different applications, for buttons or icons that are close together, you generally achieve greater accuracy with the stylus. Use of other objects, such as paper clips, pencils, or ink pens can damage the input panel and will void the warranty.

Selecting Programs

To see additional programs loaded on your terminal, tap Start > Programs. The Programs screen displays the programs that are not listed on the Start menu. To open a program, tap once on the icon.

Some programs have abbreviated labels underneath the icon. To see the full spelling of an abbreviated label, tap and hold the stylus on the label. Drag the stylus off the label so that the command is not carried out.

Pop-Up Menus

With pop-up menus, you can quickly choose an action for an item. For example, you can use the pop-up menu in the contact list to quickly delete a contact, make a copy of a contact, or send an e-mail message to a contact. The actions in the pop-up menus vary from program to program.

1.Tap and hold the stylus on the item name. The pop-up menu appears.

2.Lift the stylus, and tap the action you want to perform.

Note: To close the menu without performing an action, tap the screen anywhere outside the menu.
