Step 2: Turn on the system

Press the power button.

Windows 7 starts and the Welcome screen displays.

Step 3: Calibrate the digitizer

With tablet PCs, you will frequently use a pen instead of a mouse and keyboard to interact
with the computer. Use the pen to move the pointer around the screen, and tap the screen
to click. Use Tablet PC Input Panel to enter text (page 24).

The digitizer detects the position of the pen on the screen. You should calibrate the digitizer
the first time you start the system, and again whenever the pointer does not align with the
pen tip.

To calibrate the digitizer

1. Press the Dashboard button (

) to start Motion Dashboard.

You can use Motion Dashboard to configure the system and to start commonly used

applications. See “Using Motion Dashboard” on page 22.

2. Tap the Pen & Tablet tab.

3. Tap Calibrate Digitizer.

4. Follow the instructions in the calibration program.

Note: If you are left-handed, see “How do I adjust the system for left-handed use?” on

page 66.
