Tapping and writing problems

Problem

Solution

When I tap the
buttons or screen
icons, my handheld
activates the wrong
feature.

Calibrate the screen. See “Digitizer
preferences” in Chapter 7.

When I tap the Menu
icon

, nothing

happens.

Not all applications or screens have menus.
Try changing to a different application.

I can’t get my
handheld to
recognize my
handwriting.

For your handheld to recognize
handwriting input with the stylus, you
need to use Graffiti writing. See “Using
Graffiti writing to enter data” in Chapter
2.

Make the Graffiti character strokes in the
Graffiti writing area, not on the display
part of the screen.

Write Graffiti strokes for letters in the
left-hand side, and the strokes for
numbers in the right-hand side of the
Graffiti writing area.

Make sure that Graffiti is not shifted into
extended or punctuation modes. See
“Using Graffiti writing to enter data” in
Chapter 2.

See “Graffiti tips” in Chapter 2

for tips on

increasing your accuracy when you write
Graffiti characters.
