Initial Setup IT-10_1/40-66-E.p65 49 06.6.
Word Completion options: The Rugged PDA intelligently will attempt to guess at or predict the full word that you're entering by doing a dictionary lookup. When you purchase the Rugged PDA, a default set of words is installed. However, as you begin using the Rugged PDA and begin using words not in that dictionary, they are automatically added to a custom user dictionary that is also searched by the word completion feature.
To type with the soft keyboard: 1 1. Tap the arrow next to the Input Panel button and then Keyboard. 2. On the soft keyboard that is displayed, tap the keys with your stylus. The soft keyboard can be used in two modes: large and small. Large mode gives the advantage of larger keys and therefore higher accuracy; small mode gives you special commands like backspace and forward space in the form of onscreen keys rather than stylus-based gestures.
1. To space forward, swipe horizontally in a forward direction with stylus on the keyboard. 2. To move backwards, swipe horizontally in a backwards direction with stylus on the keyboard. 3. To carriage return, swipe vertically downwards with stylus on the keyboard. 4. To shift + key, swipe vertically upwards with stylus on the keyboard and hit any key on the keyboard. To adjust soft keyboard options: Select the arrow icon in the SIP chooser area and tap Options.
To use Letter Recognizer: With Letter Recognizer you can write letters using the stylus just as you would on paper. 1. Tap the arrow next to the Input Panel button and then Letter Recognizer. 2. Write a letter in the box. As you can see, the screen has been broken into three segments. The first allows you to enter upper-case letters; the second lower-case letters, and the third numbers. This is done to increase accuracy of recognition of your handwriting.
To adjust Letter Recognizer options: Select the arrow icon in the SIP chooser area and tap Options. Be sure Letter Recognizer is selected as the input method. Select the Options button. Quick Stroke lets you write all letters using one stroke. While this method will allow you to write faster, it requires learning how to form letters in a new way. Right to left crossbar should be enabled if you form crossbars on the letters 't', 'f', and '+' from right to left instead of left to right.
To use Block Recognizer: 1 With Block Recognizer you can input character strokes using the stylus that are similar to those used on other devices. 1. Tap the arrow next to the Input Panel button and then Block Recognizer. 2. Write a letter in the box. When you write a letter, it is converted to typed text that appears on the screen. Click on the button to open a panel of symbols and special characters to enter into your text.
To select typed text If you want to edit or format typed text, you must select it first. • Drag the stylus across the text you want to select. You can cut, copy, and paste text by tapping and holding the selected words and then tapping an editing command on the pop-up menu, or by tapping the command on the Edit menu. Entering a date in an application Many applications ask you for a date as input, such as "September 14, 1981".
Writing on the Screen 1 In any program that accepts writing, such as the Notes program, and in the Notes tab in Calendar, Contacts, and Tasks, you can use your stylus to write directly on the screen. Write the way you do on paper. You can edit and format what you've written and convert the information to text at a later time. To write on the screen: • Tap the Pen button to switch to writing mode. This action displays lines on the screen to help you write.
If you accidentally write on the screen, tap Tools, then Undo and try again. You can also select text by tapping the Pen button to deselect it and then dragging the stylus across the screen. You can cut, copy, and paste written text in the same way you work with typed text: tap and hold the selected words and then tap an editing command on the pop-up menu, or tap the command on the Edit menu. To convert writing to text: • Tap Tools and then Recognize.
1 Tips for getting good recognition: • Write neatly. • Write on the lines and draw descenders below the line. Write the cross of the "t" and apostrophes below the top line so that they are not confused with the word above. Write periods and commas above the line. • For better recognition, try increasing the zoom level to 300% using the Tools menu. Write the letters of a word closely and leave big gaps between words so that the device can easily tell where words begin and end.
Drawing on the Screen You can draw on the screen in the same way that you write on the screen. The difference between writing and drawing on the screen is how you select items and how they can be edited. For example, selected drawings can be resized, while writing cannot. To create a drawing: • Cross three ruled lines on your first stroke. A drawing box appears. Subsequent strokes in or touching the drawing box become part of the drawing.
To select a drawing: 1 If you want to edit or format a drawing, you must select it first. • Tap and hold the stylus on the drawing until the selection handle appears. To select multiple drawings, deselect the Pen button and then drag to select the drawings you want. You can cut, copy, and paste selected drawings by tapping and holding the selected drawing and then tapping an editing command on the pop-up menu, or by tapping the command on the Edit menu.
Recording a Message In any program where you can write or draw on the screen, you can also quickly capture thoughts, reminders, and phone numbers by recording a message. In Calendar, Tasks, and Contacts, you can include a recording in the Notes tab. In the Notes program, you can either create a stand-alone recording or include a recording in a written note. If you want to include the recording in a note, open the note first. In the Inbox program, you can add a recording to an e-mail message.
Using My Text 1 When using Inbox or MSN Messenger, use My Text to quickly insert preset or frequently used messages into the text entry area. To insert a message, tap My Text and tap a message. Note You can add text after inserting a My Text message before sending it. To edit a My Text message, in the Tools menu, tap Edit and then tap My Text Messages. Select the message you wish to edit and make desired changes. Click ok to save changes. Initial Setup IT-10_1/40-66-E.p65 63 06.6.
