(Basic Operation)
Your computer is equipped with a digitizer function allowing you to perform the same operations
as the touch pad or mouse by touching the surface of the display with the pen (included). (The
following explanation gives one example (for the default settings).)
The operation settings can be changed. For detailed information, refer to
Moving the cursor
You can move the cursor by
bringing the pen close to the
screen, without actually
touching the screen's surface.

Handling the Digitizer
Use the pen included with the computer. You cannot use an implement other than the pen that
comes with the computer.
Do not place any object on the surface or press down forcefully with sharp-pointed objects
(e.g., nails), or hard objects that can leave marks (e.g., pencils and ball point pens).
Do not operate the computer when such things as dust are on the screen. Doing so may
scratch the screen.
When the screen becomes dirty:
Wipe to remove dirt by using a dry soft cloth included with the computer.
Do not use benzene or thinner, or rubbing alcohol.
For more information, refer to "Suggestions About Cleaning the LCD Surface" that comes
with the soft cloth.
Because the digitizer uses electromagnetic induction, it may malfunction in locations such as
the following, where strong electrical fields or magnetic fields occur:
• Near AM radio base station or relay station antennas
• Near some CRT displays that generate strong electromagnetic field noise
Even if the digitizer does malfunction, it will return to normal operations when the computer
is no longer in close proximity to the locations described above.
Handling the Pen
The pen has a built-in pressure sensor to detect the touch of the pen tip. Avoid strong shocks
(such as dropping the pen), excessive pressure on the pen tip, or allowing the pen to become
wet. These may result in malfunctions or damage to the pen.
Clean the pen tip and screen prior to operation. Foreign particles can scratch the screen and
impede the operation of the pen.
Use the pen only for the computer screen. Using it for any other purpose may damage the
pen and scratch the screen.
Do not move the pen too quickly. If the pen moves too quickly, the cursor may be unable to
follow its movement.
