Tapping and writing problems

Problem

When I tap the buttons or screen icons, it activates the wrong feature.

When I tap the Menu

icon , nothing happens.

I can’t get my handheld to recognize my handwriting.

Solution

Calibrate the screen. See “Digitizer preferences” in Chapter 9.

Not all applications or screens have menus. Try changing to a different application.

■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-hand side of the Graffiti writing area.

■Make sure that Graffiti is not shifted into extended or punctuation modes. See “Using Graffiti writing to enter data” in Chapter 2.

■See “Graffiti tips” in Chapter 2 for tips on increasing your accuracy when you write Graffiti characters.
