Never use an actual pen, pencil, or sharp/abrasive object to write on the touch screen.
Hold the stylus as if it were a pen or pencil. Touch an element on the screen with the tip of the stylus then remove the stylus from
the screen. Firmly press the stylus into the stylus holder when the stylus is not in use.
Using a stylus is similar to moving the mouse pointer then left-clicking icons on a desktop computer screen. Using the stylus to
tap icons on the touch screen is the basic action that can:
Open applications
Choose menu commands
Select options in dialog boxes or drop-down boxes
Drag the slider in a scroll bar
Select text by dragging the stylus across the text
Place the cursor in a text box prior to typing in data
Place the cursor in a text box prior to retrieving data using a scanner/imager or an input/output device connected to a serial
port.
A right-click can be simulated by touching the touch screen with the stylus and holding it for a short time. A stylus replacement
kit is available.
Calibrating the Touch Screen
If the touch screen is not responding properly to stylus taps, you may need to recalibrate the touch screen.
Recalibration involves tapping the center of a target. If you miss the center, keep the stylus on the screen, slide it over the
target's center, and then lift the stylus.
To recalibrate the screen, select Start > Settings > Control Panel > Stylus > Calibration tab. To begin, tap the Recalibrate
button on the screen with the stylus.
Follow the instructions on the screen.
Adjusting the Display Backlight Brightness
When the display backlight is on, press the Blue key and then press either Scan key.
Use the Up Arrow and Down Arrow keys to adjust backlight brightness until the display lightens or darkens to your satisfaction.
Press any key, except the up arrow or down arrow keys, to exit this mode.
At the minimum dimness level, the display is still viewable. The brightness setting is recalled upon a return from Suspend and
also upon a warm reset/boot.
Note: The brightness of the keypad backlight is not affected by display brightness adjustments or the display brightness default
setting.
Adjusting the Display Backlight Timer
The backlight settings use the Honeywell set of default timeouts and are synchronized to the User Idle setting in the Schemes
tab in the Power control panel. When the backlight timer expires, the display backlight is dimmed, not turned off. When both
check boxes are unchecked, the backlight never turns off (or dims). Default values are 3 seconds for Battery, 2 minutes for
External and both the check boxes are enabled. When the keypad backlight is set to Follow the touch screen backlight, the
keypad backlight turns off when the touch screen backlight dims.
Applying the Touch Screen Protective Film
First, clean the touch screen of fingerprints, lint particles, dust and smudges.
Remove the protective film from its container. Remove any protective backing from the film sheet by lifting the backing from a
corner of the film. Discard the backing.
Apply the film to the touch screen starting at one side and smoothing it across the display. If air bubbles appear, raise the film
slightly and continue smoothing the film across the display until it covers the glass surface of the display. If dust, lint or smudges
are trapped between the protective film and the glass display, remove the protective film, clean the display and apply the
protective film again.
