Using the stylus to get things done
Like using a mouse to click elements on a computer screen, using the stylus to tap elements on
your communicator screen is a way to get things done on your communicator.
The first time you start your communicator, setup instructions appear on the screen. These
instructions include a calibration screen, or digitizer. Calibration aligns the internal circuitry of your
communicator with its touch-sensitive screen so that when you tap an element on the screen, the
communicator can detect exactly which task you want to perform.
Important: Always use the point of the stylus for tapping the communicator screen. Never use
an actual pen, pencil, or other sharp object to tap the communicator screen.
With your communicator turned on, you can tap the communicator screen to perform many
operations, such as the following:
■ Open applications
■ Choose menu commands
■ Initiate a global Find operation
■ Select options in dialog boxes
Just as you can drag the mouse to select text or move objects on your computer, you can also
drag the stylus to select text. You can also use the stylus to drag the slider of any scroll bar.
