Entering Data in Your SUPRA
Handheld Computer
Tapping and Typing
Tap with the stylus to get things done
Use the stylus to tap elements on your SUPRA handheld computer
screen like you would use a mouse to select elements on a PC screen.
Setup instructions appear on the screen the first time you start your
handheld. These instructions include a calibration screen, or digitizer.
Calibration aligns the internal circuitry of your handheld with its
touch-sensitive screen so when you tap an element on the screen, the
handheld can detect exactly which task you want to perform.
Important: Always use the point of the stylus for tapping or making
strokes on the handheld screen. Never use an actual pen,
pencil, or other sharp object to write on the handheld
screen.
With your handheld turned on, you can tap the handheld screen to
perform many operations, such as the following:
! Open applications
! Choose menu commands
! Initiate a global find operation
! Select options in dialog boxes
! Open the onscreen keyboards
Just as you can drag the mouse to select text or move objects on your
PC, you can also drag the stylus to select text. Use the stylus to drag
the slider of any scroll bar.
