Using the Tablet PC
You can use the pen on your notebook as an electronic writing implement to select items and to
navigate through menu options and programs. Programs that support handwriting recognition also
allow you to write characters directly on the screen with the pen. You can also use the pen as a
drawing tool. You can use the eraser (4) on the pen to delete previously written or drawn inputs.
The notebook pen is retained securely in the pen slot. This ensures that the pen cannot be lost,
regardless of whether you use the notebook as a Tablet PC or as a notebook, or transport it while
travelling. Always replace the pen in its slot when you are not using it.
The notebook is supplied with a pen cord which you can attach to the eyelets on the pen and on the
notebook.
Only use the pen provided with your notebook. Do not use substitute pen tips that were not
!
specially designed for your notebook. Replace the stylus tip if it is worn. The warranty does
not cover a scratched screen.
While writing, you should watch out that you do not scratch the surface of the display (e.g.
with a wristwatch or bracelet).
The pen of your notebook is an electronic instrument which can be damaged if used
i
improperly. Handle the pen with care.
The following list contains guidelines for proper pen handling:
●
Do not gesture with the pen.
●
Do not use the pen as a pointer.
●
Never use the pen on any other surface than the screen of your notebook.
●
Do not try to turn the thumb grip on the pen. The thumb grip is used to place the pen
in its slot and to take it out of the slot.
●
Never store the pen with the tip bearing the weight of the pen (e.g. with the tip down
in a pen holder). If the pen is stored with the tip pointing down, this may have an
adverse effect on the pen mechanism (particularly under high temperatures). In this
case the pen tip may react as though it is constantly being pressed down. To avoid
damage, the pen should be stored in the pen slot when not in use.
The pen can be influenced by electromagnetic fields (cursor quivers or jumps). There may
be a few areas on the screen where the cursor quivers slightly in spite of pressing the pen
down firmly.
The screen reacts when the pen tip is less than 1/8 inch (3-5mm) from the screen.
You can use the pen to run all functions for which you would otherwise use a mouse. In addition, you
can conveniently delete hand-written pen entries using the pen.
