Using the Touchscreen (option)

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 (option) located on the handle.

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 that allows you to easily use the computer without a mouse or touchpad. (For information on installing the driver, see Chapter 6.)

Here are some common terms that you should know when using the touchscreen:
