Getting Started 14
Adjusting the screen contrast
Adjust the screen contrast by holding down the Fn key and pressing the -
decrease (H) key or the + increase (J) key.
Change the size of the text on the screen using the Zoom in and Zoom
out commands.
Switch the ‘backlight’ on and off by holding down the Fn key and pressing the
Spacebar. You can use the backlight to light up the screen in dim conditions.
Note! The MC 218 uses considerably more battery power when the backlight
is on.
Finding and Using the Pen
The pen is located in a holder at the right, near the back. Press the end of it in
gently, and it will pop out. To replace it, push it back in and it will click into
place.
Tap lightly on the screen using the pen. It’s OK to use your fingers to tap on
the screen, though it is best to use the pen to avoid fingerprints or smudges on
the screen. Do not tap the screen with any object that has a sharp tip or you
may damage the screen. Don’t use any type of ink pen, as the ink may be
impossible to remove. See the “Important Information” chapter for
instructions on how to clean the screen.
You can usually tap on an item with the pen to select or change it. For
example, you can tap on:
• The program icons, to open a program.
• The command icons, for ‘shortcuts’ to Desktop functions, e.g. the
menu bar, infrared sending or receiving, cutting and pasting, zooming
in and out.
Note! If the screen does not respond to your taps, you may need to re-
calibrate it using the Screen settings in the Control Panel. See the “The screen
does not react to the pen taps" section of the “Troubleshooting” chapter for
details of how to calibrate the screen settings.
Most of the things you can do with the pen have an equivalent keyboard
combination, so you can use the pen, the keyboard, or a combination of both
methods.
