Chapter 01: Getting Started

Step 5: Completing the Operating System Installation
When your system powers on for the first time, Windows will
have a few questions for you to answer in order to localize your
installation.

NOTE: You’ll need a USB keyboard connected to your a7330T in order

to answer some of the questions that require text input. You can use

the on-screen keyboard with your a7330D in Active Digitizer mode.

Refer to your operating system’s manual for information on any
of the questions you are unsure how to answer.

Interacting with the Active Digitizer and/or Touch Screen
Unlike a standard laptop or desktop PC, standard navigational
activities on an Ultra-Mobile PC are completed using the stylus
pen, or even your fingers if using the touch screen. The screen
will react to the pen differently depending on whether you are
using the Touch Screen mode or the Active Digitizer mode.

Touch Screen mode
Navigating with a touch screen is different from navigating with
a mouse. The pen will interact with the computer whenever you
touch it to the screen.

Hold the stylus pen as if you were writing with a standard pen.
Instead of sliding the pen around the screen, just tap on what
you want to interact with. 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.

Also, remember that since the screen is sensitive to the touch,
resting your hand on the screen while using the pen might make
the pointer react unpredictably.

TIP: When trying to select or activate something on the screen with

the stylus pen, pay attention to the position of the pointer icon instead

of the tip of the pen.
