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.
