Screen Lock Mode - Lenovo ThinkPad 1838 User Manual

Figure 5. ThinkPad Tablet Pen overview
To use the ThinkPad Tablet Pen, hold the pen and gently touch the screen with the tip to accomplish actions
such as touch, touch and hold, drag, and slide. You also can touch an item or a blank area with the pen tip
and then press the active button 1 to imitate a touch-and-hold operation.
If the battery power runs out, the active button 1 stops functioning. Unscrew the battery cap 2 and remove
it to replace the battery.
When drawing or writing with the pen, hold the pen vertically to achieve the best line quality.
Note: The ThinkPad Tablet Pen uses one AAAA alkaline battery.
Use the pen instead of your finger in the following conditions:
• When you need precise and detailed input, such as drawing a picture or using handwriting mode
• When too many elements are crowded on the screen, for example, when you are playing games
• If you want to keep your screen free from smudges
• If you have long fingernails and it is difficult for you to type
Your tablet provides a storage slot and string holes for the ThinkPad Tablet Pen. When you are not using the
ThinkPad Tablet Pen, store it in the tablet. If you need to use the pen frequently, string the pen to the string
holes to avoid losing it. To locate the storage slot and string holes, see "Tablet layout" on page 1.

To unlock the screen, press the power button again and drag the unlock icon across the screen
in any direction.
If you have set up a screen unlock password or a Personal Identification Number (PIN), or an unlock pattern,
