Using the display
The tablet’s screen combines the eye-soothing readability of a liquid-crystal
display with the responsiveness of a pen controller. The screen provides a hard
writing surface, minimizes glare, and increases readability.
■ Unlike other touchscreens and PDAs, the tablet’s display responds only to
the tablet’s pen. The tablet will not respond to a PDA pen or the touch of
a fingertip.
■ Steady your hand on the display surface while writing. The pressure of your
hand will not affect any open programs.
■ Switching from AC to battery power dims the display slightly to save
power.
Using the pen
The tablet PC’s pen is the only device that can write, tap, and input directly
on the tablet’s display.
The pen can do everything a mouse does. Just think “tap” instead of “click”.
Warning A finger-tap or PDA stylus has no effect on the tablet’s
display, and ink pens and other pointed objects could
damage the surface, so always use the pen that came with
your tablet. You can order extra pens from Gateway.
