TAG 10 manual Using the Touchscreen, Touchscreen Pen Holder

Using the Touchscreen

CAUTION: Do not use a sharp object such as a ballpoint pen or pencil on the Touchscreen. Doing so may damage the Touchscreen surface. Use the included Touchscreen pen instead, which can be stretched for better grip and handling.

The Touchscreen is a touch-sensitive device that allows you to communicate with the computer by controlling the location of the pointer on the screen and making selection with the buttons.

The Touchscreen needs a special device driver support called a PenMount Utility, which allows you to easily use the Tablet PC without any external pointing device.

The Touchscreen pen is located at the rear of the Tablet PC (refer to “Rear Components” on chapter 1). You might need to tilt the Tablet PC after opening the Touchscreen penholder to get it. To use the Touchscreen, place the Touchscreen pen or your forefinger on the Touchscreen. As you slide your pen or fingertip across the screen, the pointer, or cursor, on the screen moves in the same direction across the screen as your fingertip or pen moves across the screen.
