Problem Solution
When I tap the
buttons or screen
icons, it activates the
wrong feature.
Calibrate the screen. See “Digitizer
preferences” in Chapter 9.
When I tap the Menu
icon , nothing
happens.
Not all applications or screens have menus .
Try changing to a different application.
I can’t get my
handheld to
recognize my
handwriting.
■For your handheld to recognize hand-
writing input with the stylus, you need
to use Graffiti® writing. See “Using
Graffiti writing to enter data” in
Chapter 2.
■Make the Graffiti character strokes in
the Graffiti writing area, not on the
display part of the screen.
■Write Graffiti strokes for letters in the
left-hand side, and the strokes for
numbers in the right-ha nd side of the
Graffiti writing area.
■Make sure that Graffiti is not shifted
into extended or punctuation modes.
See “Using Graffi ti writing to ente r
data” in Chapter 2.
■See “Graffiti tips” in Chapter 2 for tips
on increasing your accuracy when you
write Graffiti characters.
