Using the Stylus
Compaq recommends using the stylus to touch the screen and
when pressing the reset button. There's no harm in using your
fingertip, but many features require the stylus for finer pointing.
Below are some tips for using the stylus:
Make sure the screen is calibrated so that the device interprets the
stylus taps correctly. If you need to recalibrate after the initial
setup calibration, select
Start→Settings→Control
Panel→Stylus
and follow the instructions on the screen.
TIP:
To quickly open the Stylus calibration page, press the
Windows key
+
i
.
■
To remove the stylus from the stylus slot, slide the stylus to
the right.
■
To replace the stylus, slide the stylus into the slot, point first
and ridges facing out, until it is all the way in.
■
When instructed to tap the screen, use a quick, light touch.
Leaving the stylus on the screen, skidding it across the screen,
or tapping too hard can cause the device to misinterpret the
taps.
■
When instructed to double-tap, use two quick, light taps in
succession.
■
For applications that require a right click, press the
Alt
key
while tapping with the stylus.
■
To adjust tap speed and sensitivity, select
Start→Settings→
Control Panel→Stylus→Double-Tap
and follow the
instructions on the screen.
CAUTION:
To avoid damaging the screen, do not use sharp
instruments such as keys or ballpoint pens to touch the screen.
