Active Pen with Tether
The pen that comes with your X7 (Figure 10) has circuitry in the tip that interacts with the
digitizer assembly built into the tablet display. The digitizer detects the pen tip close to the
screen and activates certain functions like steering the cursor or performing a right click action if
the pen is allowed to hover for a few seconds.
The pen also has a side button that can be programmed for a number of different functions
(refer to the Pen Tablet Properties Utility). It’s default function is Right-Click. The pen is stored
in the tablet’s carrying handle and is secured to the handle by a flexible tether.

AC Adapter
Included with your ARMOR X7 is a +19 VDC ± 5%, 2 amp AC power adapter, or “AC Adapter”.
This external power supply can be plugged in to any 100-240 VAC outlet and is used to
recharge your computer’s battery packs or to provide power to the computer without draining
the batteries. A European AC power cord is also available.
