Using the tablet mode
In the tablet mode, you can use your ThinkPad(R) computer in a creative and intuitive way by jotting down
notes and illustrations with the Tablet Digitizer Pen and then storing them digitally.
To use your ThinkPad(R) computer in the tablet mode, do as follows:
1. Unlock the display latch (1) and open the computer display (2) slowly, holding the upper left and right
sides of the display with both hands. Your computer is now in the notebook mode .
2. Open the display by at least 45 degrees, preferably by 90 degrees. Grasp the center of one side of the
computer display with one hand while holding the keyboard bezel with the other hand; then rotate the
display slowly clockwise until the back of the display is facing the keyboard. Your computer is now in
the picture frame mode .
Note: While rotating the display, do not press the upper edge of either side of the display.
Note: In the notebook mode, you can rotate the computer display only clockwise. In the tablet
mode, you can rotate it only counterclockwise. Do not force it to rotate in the wrong direction.
3. Close the computer display slowly, holding the upper left and right sides with both hands.
Note: Make sure that the display is rotated at 180 degrees, so that the back of the display faces the
keyboard.
4. Press the center latch down to lock the display.
