Page 17: Touch Screen Calibration
The monitor is touch-sensitive thanks to its touch-sensitive screen. A touch screen is an input device just like a mouse or a keyboard, and the user’s fingers transmit position information via the touch screen to the computer. With this technology, you only need to touch the pictures or words on the computer display lightly with your finger, and the computer will react. - Page 18 2. Single Finger Right Click For the item selected on the touch screen, press and hold your finger on the screen until a circle appears. After lifting your finger from the touch screen, a menu bar will pop up, completing the single finger right click operation. This is similar to the action performed by clicking the mouse right button.
- Page 19 3. Double Finger Right Click First touch a finger to the screen to select the desired item and hold it there, then touch another finger anywhere nearby on the screen and quickly lift it up again, to complete a double finger right click operation. The area where the first finger is placed can be used to show the right-click menu or perform related operations.
- Page 20 5. High Speed Slide If you touch the screen with a single finger and slide it a short distance horizontally (about 5 cm), then quickly lift it up again, this is called a High Speed Slide, and the screen will show the “Forward” or “Back” icon. In the default situation, a high speed horizontal sliding movement will execute a forward or back operation.
- Page 21 7. Zoom Operation Touch two fingers lightly on the desired item on the touch screen, then keeping both fingers on the screen, change the distance between them. By increasing (or decreasing) the distance, you can perform a zoom out (or zoom in) operation. For example: you can enlarge or reduce the picture size in Windows Photo Viewer.
