For a single click, tap the display once with your finger. For a double click, tap the display twice without pausing.

Using the multitouch panel

On a model that has the multitouch panel feature, the touch panel supports multitouch, with which you can zoom in, zoom out, scroll, or rotate on the screen with your two fingers while browsing the Internet or reading or editing a document.

The multitouch panel supports the capacitive touch. Even the slightest contact of your electron-rich finger with the screen's glass is enough to activate the capacitive sensing system. This function does not work with inanimate objects, fingernails, gloved fingers. Advanced palm-rejection technology helps to prevent inadvertent contact with a pen or a finger, which could disrupt finger input.

Tips on using the touch panel

The touch panel is a glass panel covered with a plastic film. For input you can use either your finger or the Tablet Digitizer Pen shipped with your computer. Do not use any pen other than the specified one, or any metallic object, because to do so might damage the touch panel or cause it to malfunction.

If you put your computer in a carrying case, put it into notebook mode and close the display. Do not carry your computer in tablet mode.

If you use both your finger (or two fingers) and the Tablet Digitizer Pen simultaneously for input to the screen, only data entered by use of the Digitizer Pen will be processed.

With the touch panel, gradually a discrepancy may start to appear between the point you touch with your finger (or two fingers) during the finger point, and its actual position on the screen. To avoid this, regularly correct the accuracy of the finger input by use of the touch panel Settings Utility.

If your computer is the multitouch model, the touch panel of your computer supports multitouch with which you can:

Pinch two fingers together or apart to zoom in or out on a document.

Scroll window contents by moving two fingers up and down, left and right.

Touch two points on a digital photo and twist to rotate it just like a real photo.

Cleaning the touch panel display

1.To remove fingerprints, etc., from the touch panel display, use a dry, soft, lint-free cloth or a piece of absorbent cotton. Do not apply solvents to the cloth.

2.Gently wipe foreign particles and dust from the touch panel with one side of the cloth.

3.Wipe smudges or fingerprints with the other side of the cloth, or with a clean cloth.

4.After using the cloth, wash it with a neutral detergent.

Using the Tablet buttons

On the display bezel near the screen is a row of buttons with which you can control your computer in the tablet mode, without the use of the keyboard.
