Lenovo ThinkPad Tablet - Manual (Page 25)

To use the ThinkPad Tablet Pen, hold the pen and gently touch the screen with the tip to accomplish
actions such as touch, touch and hold, drag, and slide. You also can touch an item or a blank area with
the pen tip and then press the active button
1 to imitate a touch-and-hold operation. To drag and drop an
object with the pen, press and hold the action button 1 , touch the object with the pen tip, and then
drag the object to the desired location.
If the battery power runs out, the active button 1 stops functioning. Unscrew the battery cap 2 and remove
it to replace the battery.
When drawing or writing with the pen, hold the pen vertically to achieve the best line quality.
Note: The ThinkPad Tablet Pen uses one AAAA alkaline battery.
Use the pen instead of your finger in the following conditions:
• When you need precise and detailed input, such as drawing a picture or using handwriting mode
• When too many elements are crowded on the screen, for example, when you are playing games
• If you want to keep your screen free from smudges
• If you have long fingernails and it is difficult for you to type
When you are using the ThinkPad Tablet Pen, you can disable the finger interaction with the screen to
avoid accidental input by finger or hand touch. To disable the finger interaction with the screen, do either
of the following:
• Open the Quick Settings panel and switch on Pen only.
• Go to the Android Settings screen and touch Display ➙ Use Pen Only for Touch Events.
Your tablet provides a storage slot and string holes for the ThinkPad Tablet Pen. When you are not using the
ThinkPad Tablet Pen, store it in the tablet. If you need to use the pen frequently, string the pen to the string
holes to avoid losing it. To locate the storage slot and string holes, see “Tablet layout” on page 1.
