26 Using the Slate and its Tools 99-00666-20 B0
Using the Battery-Free Tethered Pen
Within the slate’s workspace, you can use the tethered pen to point, single-click, double-click,
select creative tools, start programs, and more. You can also customize the side switch. Use the
tethered pen in place of a mouse device.
When you aren’t using the tethered pen, place it in the storage compartment, so that it’s easily
accessible for later use.
Hold the tethered pen like you hold a pen or pencil, and hold it as perpendicular to the slate as
possible. Hold it so that you can conveniently press the side switch with your thumb or forefinger,
but won’t accidently press it.
CAUTIONS • Do not leave the tethered pen on the slate’s workspace when you are not using
it. It can interfere with pointer positioning.
• To maintain the sensitivity of your pen tip, do not store the pen so that it rests on
its tip.
