Chapter 04: Using Your eo Ultra-Mobile Tablet PC with Microsoft® Windows® 7

When using the stylus pen, hold it as if you were writing with a

standard pen. When using an eo a7400 model that includes a

digitizer, simply moving the tip of the digitizer stylus a few mil-

limeters above the screen will automatically activate the panel.

Without touching the screen, move the stylus around and watch

how the pointer (shaped like a diamond instead of a traditional

mouse arrow) follows the pen just as if you were moving a

mouse.

When you want to select or activate something, simply tap on

it. This is the same as clicking the left mouse button. When you

are using the system in digitizer mode, feel free to rest your hand

on the screen as it will only react to the pen. Be aware, however,

if you raise the tip of the pen too far from the screen, it will

automatically revert to touch screen mode and the pointer may

react to the presence of your resting hand.

When using a capacitive stylus or your finger in touch screen

mode, instead of sliding the pen or your finger around the

screen to move the pointer, simply tap on with what you want

to interact. Sliding the pen while lightly touching the tip to the

screen will move the on-screen pointer around as if you were

using a mouse and holding down the left mouse button. In

other words, you would be performing what is known as a drag

operation.

To perform a right mouse click in both digitizer and touch screen

mode, press and hold on the screen until you see a circle draw

around the tip of your pen or finger, then release to perform the

actual click.

NOTE FOR TOUCH SCREEN USERS: Additionally, to perform a right

mouse click, you can tap on an object (desktop, icon, etc.) with one

finger to select it and then, with you finger still on the screen, tap with

a second finger to perform the right-click.

Also, remember that since the touch screen is, by name, sensitive

to touch, resting your hand on the screen while navigating with

your fingers, or when using a stylus, might make the pointer

react unpredictably.
