2 With your fingers, place a new tip into the pen, and insert the tip until it is

fully seated in the pen.

Calibrating the Pen

The pen can function at the default calibration or at a calibration set by you

or by another user. Dell recommends that you use the pen only while it is

calibrated to your personal calibration settings. Calibration optimizes pen

performance for each user.
To calibrate the pen:

1 Press the QuickSet tablet settings button, click Control Tablet PC

SettingsPen and Input Settings.

2 At the bottom of the General tab, tap the Calibrate button.
3 Follow the instructions on the screen. The calibration markers are

displayed on the screen as plus signs (+). Tap the pen in the exact center

of each of the calibration markers.

NOTE:

Be sure to calibrate the pen for use in both portrait and landscape display

orientations.

Using the Pen Like a Mouse

You can use the pen with your Tablet-PC the same way you use a mouse or

touch pad with a notebook computer. When you hold the pen near the

display, you see a small cursor. Moving the pen moves the cursor.

• To click, tap once.
• To double-click, tap the display twice.
• To open a menu, tap the menu name, and then the menu item.
• To drag an item, such as a file or icon, touch the pen to the item and drag

it to another destination on the display.

• There are two ways to right-click (to open a context-sensitive menu):

Hold down the right-click pen button and then tap the display. When

you hold down the right-click pen button, the cursor is surrounded

with a circle.
