POSITIONING

Use the pen to position the pointer (or cursor) on your screen.

Lift the pen and place the pen tip on the tablet active area. The cursor jumps to the new location.

Move the screen cursor by hovering the pen over the tablet surface. Do this without touching the tablet surface, but while still keeping the pen tip within proximity of the tablet.

To select an icon or folder, use your pen to position the screen cursor over the object. Press down to select.

Tips:

If you find using a pen to be somewhat difficult, try the eye-hand coordination exercise.

Pointing is easier when you orient the tablet square to the computer monitor so the screen cursor follows the same direction as your hand movements on the tablet.
