• Write directly on the screen.
• Draw pictures on the screen.

Entering Text Using the Input Panel
HHP recommends using screen protectors for Dolphin 7400/7450 terminals to protect the input panel display; especially for those
terminals used for applications that require high-volume interfacing with the touch display. Screen protectors will help prevent
damage to the touch panel display and are easily installed over the display. Screen protectors can be purchased at any major
computer retail store.
Note: For touch screen input, only use a stylus or your finger. Use of other objects, such as paper clips, pencils, or ink pens can
damage the input panel and will void the warranty.
Use the input panel to enter information in any program on the Dolphin mobile computer. You can either type using the soft
keyboard or write using Letter Recognizer, Block Recognizer, or Transcriber. In either case, the characters appear as typed text
on the screen.
To show or hide the input panel, tap the Input Panel button. Tap the arrow next to the Input Panel button to see your choices.
When you use the input panel, your terminal anticipates the word you are typing or writing and displays it above the input panel.
When you tap the displayed word, it is inserted into your text at the insertion point. The more you use your Dolphin 7400/7450
terminal, the more words it learns to anticipate.
To change word suggestion options, such as the number of words suggested at one time, tap Start> Settings>Personal
>Input> Word Completion tab.
