Pen, Command Controls and Keyboards
Maintaining and Protecting the Pen
The pen contains a standard AAAA battery that should be
replaced yearly or whenever the tablet PC stops responding to the
pen. For battery replacement instructions, see the "Maintenance,
Shipping and Travel" chapter.
Calibrating the Pen
The pen can function at the default calibration or at a calibration
set by another user. However, Compaq highly recommends that
you use the pen only while it is calibrated to your personal
handwriting and mouse action motions. Calibration optimizes pen
performance for all users and particularly for left-handed users.
To calibrate the pen, select Start > Control Panel > Printers
and Other Hardware icon > Tablet and Pen Settings window >
Pen Options tab, then follow the instructions on the screen.
As you perform the calibration:
■
Tap the pen in the exact center of each of the calibration
markers. The calibration markers are displayed on the screen
as plus signs (+).
■
Be sure to calibrate the pen for use in both portrait and
landscape orientations.
■
You can display information about any setting in the Tablet
and Pen Settings window by selecting the question mark
button in the upper right corner of the window, then selecting
a setting. A definition, explanation, or procedure is displayed.
