Note:
Calibration" in Chapter 4, "System Configuration".
Note: Always use the point of the stylus for tapping or making strokes on the display. Never use
an actual pen, pencil or sharp object to write on the touch screen.
The touchscreen input performs the same function as the mouse that is used to point to and click
elements on a desk top computer. A stylus is used in the same manner as a mouse – single tap or
double tap to select menu options, drag the stylus across text to select, hold the stylus down to
activate slider bars, etcetera. Right click is accomplished via the <Ctrl> key, either as pressing of
the <Ctrl> key followed by a screen touch or holding the <Ctrl> key down flowed by a screen
touch. Please refer to "Configuring Right Click on the Touchscreen" in Chapter 4, "System
Configuration" for more details.
Note: For the 60-key keyboard, the right click MUST BE configured as holding the <Crtl> key
followed by a screen touch.
Hold the stylus as if it were a pen or pencil. Touch an element on the screen with the tip of the
stylus then remove the stylus from the screen. The touch screen responds to an actuation force
(touch) of up to 4 oz. of pressure.
The touch screen can be used in conjunction with the keyboard and scanner and an input/output
device connected to one of the VX5's serial ports.
