Calibrating the Pen to Increase Its Accuracy
Be sure to calibrate your Pen the first time you start your Tablet PC, then at
other times if the onscreen pointer doesn’t seem to line up with the Pen tip.
Have each person using the Tablet PC set their own calibration; the Tablet
PC stores Pen settings on a per-user basis. Calibration ensures the accuracy
of the Pen and adjusts the Tablet PC display for different people.
To open the calibration program:
1. Open the Motion Dashboard and tap the Calibrate but-
ton. Or double-tap the Tablet and Pen Settings icon in
the System Tray, located in the lower right-hand corner
of the display window. This opens the Tablet and Pen Settings win-

NOTE: This icon may be hidden in the System Tray. Tap the System Tray
left-arrow to open all hidden icons.
2. Choose the Settings tab.
3. Tap Calibrate while holding the Pen in
a normal writing manner.
4. Carefully align the Pen point precisely
in the crosshairs in the calibration dis-
play for best performance.
5. Rotate the Tablet PC display and
repeat this for each orientation
