Using the display
Your convertible tablet PC’s screen combines the eye-soothing readability of a
liquid-crystal display with the responsiveness of a pen controller. The screen
provides a hard, smooth writing surface, minimizes glare, and increases
readability.
■ Unlike other touchscreens and PDAs, your convertible tablet PC’s display
responds only to your convertible tablet PC’s pen. Your convertible
tablet PC 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 or fingers will not affect any open programs.
■ Switching from AC to battery power dims the display slightly to save
battery power.
Important If you prefer maximum brightness while on battery power,
use the XtraBright/XtraDim button. For more information,
see “Tablet control buttons” on page 32.
