Will the tablet work with any monitor or USB peripheral keyboard,
mouse, or drive?
Any device will work as long as the device’s driver is available either in Windows
XP or from the manufacturer, and it carries the Windows XP logo or
certification. See www.microsoft.com/hcl for more information.
Why does the tablet and FlexDock not have parallel, serial, or PS2
ports?
Microsoft Tablet PC certification requires the tablet to be completely
Grab-and-Go—that is, to be able to dock with and undock from all peripherals
without putting the tablet into suspend or shutting it down. Connection
through legacy ports (serial, parallel, PS2) often requires suspending or
restarting the tablet, which prevents you from moving between desktop mode
and mobile mode seamlessly in one docking/undocking step.
How do I adjust the tablet for left-handed use?
Through the
Settings
tab of the Tablet and Pen Settings dialog box. Access it by
double-tapping on the
Tablet and Pen Settings
icon in the taskbar.
How can I improve the wireless signal?
Make sure that the antenna zone is not covered up by hands, cases, or other
objects.
