When using the stylus pen, hold it as if you were writing with a
standard pen. When using a Sahara NetSlate model that includes
a digitizer, simply moving the tip of the stylus a few millimeters
above the screen will automatically activate the panel. Without
touching the screen, move the stylus around and watch how the
pointer (shaped like a diamond instead of a traditional mouse
arrow) follows the pen just as if you were moving a mouse.
When you want to select or activate something, simply tap on
it. This is the same as clicking the left mouse button. When you
are using the system in digitizer mode, feel free to rest your hand
on the screen as it will only react to the pen. Be aware, however,
if you raise the tip of the pen too far from the screen, it will
automatically revert to touch screen mode and the pointer may
react to the presence of your resting hand.
When using a stylus or your finger in touch screen mode, instead
of sliding the pen or your finger around the screen to move the
pointer, simply tap on with what you want to interact. Sliding
the pen while lightly touching the tip to the screen will move
the on-screen pointer around as if you were using a mouse and
holding down the left mouse button. In other words, you would
be performing what is known as a drag operation.
To perform a right mouse click in both digitizer and touch screen
mode, press and hold on the screen until you see a circle draw
around the tip of your pen or finger, then release to perform the
actual click.
NOTE FOR CAPACITIVE TOUCH SCREEN USERS: Additionally, to
perform a right mouse click, you can tap on an object (desktop, icon,
etc.) with one finger to select it and then, with you finger still on the
screen, tap with a second finger to perform the right-click.
Also, remember that since the touch screen is, by name, sensitive
to touch, resting your hand on the screen while navigating with
your fingers, or when using a stylus, might make the pointer
react unpredictably.
