The mouse can be used to control the mouse cursor within the operating system. You can use the keyboard
when entering text and controlling some elements of the operating system and applications using keyboard
shortcuts. The settings for the mouse and keyboard can be changed in the system settings of the operating
system.

Controlling using the touch panel can be used to perform many operations without using keyboard and
mouse. The information you need to use the touch panel correctly is presented in the following section.

Note : The way of controlling with the keyboard, mouse and touch panel may be different according to the type of

operating system used and its settings.

Controlling with the touch panel

The Uniq PC is equipped with a touch panel which allows you to control the mouse cursor and applications
or enter text using the virtual keyboard on the display. The touch panel can be controlled by the touch of the
fingers or using a special touch pen (stylus). If you use a keyboard or mouse and at the same time the touch
panel to control the computer, the individual methods of controlling will interfere with each other. Before
using the touch panel for controlling it is necessary to calibrate the touch panel; the procedure is described
in the section “Calibrating the touch panel“.

Note : Control the touch panel by gentle pressure of the finger or stylus. Do not use excess pressure or objects with

hard and sharp edges for controlling; otherwise you may cause damage to the touch panel or the display.

Controlling the mouse cursor with the touch panel

Using the touch panel you can control the mouse functions as follows:

Tapping on the screen is the equivalent of left-clicking the mouse – the cursor is shifted to the place of the
touch and the object beneath the cursor is selected.

Double-tapping – is the equivalent of double-clicking the left mouse button.

Placing and holding a finger on one spot of the display – is the equivalent of clicking the right mouse button,
calling up the context menu. After the menu is displayed, tap on the desired item in the menu while the
relevant item is activated.

Parameters for controlling the mouse cursor can be changed in the dialogue box for setting the touch panel display

on the “Setting“ card.

Using gestures

On operating systems that support multi touch control – among supplied operating systems it‘s Windows 7
– you can use the advanced touch control options using specific movements of fingers or stylus, so called
gestures. Using gestures is possible in Windows 7 in compatible applications to control the scrolling, zoom

ing, rotation and a context menu. Basic gestures are summarized below. Not all gestures must be available
in all applications and for all objects.

Note : To take full advantage of the multi touch support, your operating system and also applications need to sup

port multi touch features. This also means that available gesture controls depend on the software used.
