Using touch

With the F5v, you can use either your finger, a pen or both to interact with the touchscreen
display. With the C5v, you can use the pen to interact with the display (the C5v does not
have a touchscreen display). While it's convenient to use your finger most of the time, a pen
allows you more precise control for editing a document or drawing graphics among other
things.
N : The touchscreen display is available as an option for the F5v Tablet PC.
OTE
With touchscreen displays, you use your finger or pen as you would use a mouse. For
example, tapping twice is the same as double-clicking a mouse. Tap and holding is the
same as right-clicking a mouse to open context-sensitive menus.
Here are some common ways to perform tasks on a touchscreen:
•
Tap—Select something
•
Press and hold—Open a menu of options. This is equivalent to right-clicking a mouse to
display the right-click menu.
Note: Press and hold your finger until a circle appears then lift your finger to display the
menu.
•
Double-tap—Perform a double-click action
•
Tap and drag—Drag and drop
•
Pinch fingers together—Zoom in
•
Spread fingers apart—Zoom out
•
Flick—Scroll through a list or move quickly
•
Press and hold the pen's function button (equivalent to a right-click on a mouse)—
Open a context-sensitive menu
N : If the tablet does not respond when you tap with your finger, try using more area of your
OTE
fingertip. Unlike other types of touchscreens, the F5v capacitive touchscreen does not
respond to other input. For example, you can't tap it with another object such as a credit
card or when wearing gloves.
