To begin using the pen, press the tip of the pen against the notebook’s touchscreen. The touchscreen will automatically detect the pen when it is within range to be sensed by the digitizer, and provides cues on where to place the pen.
When the pen is within range, the notebook automatically switches the finger-touch functionality to off.
note:
To save power, the pen will automatically deactivate if the tip has no pressure for 1.5 seconds. After writing has stopped and the pen is no longer detected by the screen, finger-touch functionality remains off for a few seconds and then touch will automatically become active again.
With the pen, you can perform the following mouse functions on the touchscreen:
-
Left-click: Tap the pen once on the screen to left-click an item.
-
Right-click: Press the right-click button on the pen and then press the tip on the screen to right-click an item.
-
Double-click: Tap the pen twice on the screen to double-click an item.
-
Select multiple items: Press the pen tip against the screen and drag it across the items or text you want to select.
or
Press and hold the pen against the first of several items you want to select. Then, while still holding the item, press the Shift key, and select the last item. The Shift key function selects all the items between the first and the last item.
-
Erase: Press and hold the pen tip against the screen on the item you want to erase, and then click the eraser button. You can erase a single item, or use a swipe action to erase multiple items.
The pen can be used either physically touching the screen or it can be used by hovering above the surface of the screen, with no screen contact necessary.
