Using touch
The C5m/F5m Tablet PC supports 10-point capacitive multi-touch with your fingers as well
as input with a C5/F5-Series digitizer pen. You may find the pen handy when you want to
write a quick email or take notes. The pen is particularly effective for precise data entry and
navigation.

menu.

If the tablet doesn’t respond when you tap with your finger, try using more of your fingertip.
Unlike other types of touchscreens, the C5m/F5m capacitive touchscreen does not respond
to other input. For example, you can’t tap it with another object such as a credit card or
when wearing gloves.
