Using the pen
Different from any other stylus or pen you have used before, the cordless pen’s
internal electronics make it the only way to write, tap, and input directly on
the tablet’s display.
The pen can do everything a mouse does. Just think “tap” instead of “click:”
Calibration
The first time you use your tablet, you should calibrate your pen for both
portrait and landscape orientations. In just a few seconds, calibration ensures
the accuracy of the pen and adjusts the screen’s performance for different users.
If the on-screen pointer does not seem to line up with the tip of the pen—for
example, because someone else has used your tablet and adjusted it for their
own use—recalibrate it to your tapping patterns.
Recalibrate if you write with the opposite hand from the previous
user—right-handed writer to left-handed writer, for example.
Warning
A finger-tap or PDA stylus has no effect on the tablet’s
display, and ink pens and other pointed objects could
damage the surface, so always use the pen that came with
your tablet. You can order extra pens from Gateway.
