Handspring 300 manual Using the stylus to get things done

Using 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 phone screen is a way to get things done on your phone.

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

Important: Always use the point of the stylus for tapping the phone screen. Never use an actual pen, pencil, or other sharp object to tap the phone screen.

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

▶Open applications

▶Choose menu commands

▶Select options in dialog boxes

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.
