Step 3: Connecting Applicable Peripherals and Networking Cables If you would like to use any external peripheral with the tablet (i.e. USB mouse, USB keyboard, etc.
Refer to your operating system’s manual for information on any of the questions you are unsure how to answer. Interacting with the Active Digitizer and/or Touch Screen Unlike a regular laptop or desktop PC, standard navigational activities on a Tablet PC are typically completed using your fingers or a stylus pen. Navigating with a touch screen is different from navigating with a mouse, while using a stylus pen in Active Digitizer mode on the eo a7400 is actually quite similar to navigating with a mouse.
Many newer Windows applications are touch aware. This allows you to navigate documents using what are collectively known as touch gestures and flicks. For example, swiping your finger upward while reading a web page, or a Word document, will cause the screen to scroll downward (actually the screen moves up, you scroll “down” through your document).
a right mouse button click, press and hold down the tip of the stylus lightly on the screen. In a moment, an animated circle will draw around the pointer similar to when in touch screen mode. Lift the stylus from the screen to complete the button press. Dragging the stylus around while touching the screen is equivalent to holding down the left mouse button and dragging. Similar to when in touch screen mode, Windows 7 supports pen gestures as a way to invoke short-cuts to aid you while working.
Chapter 02 Touring Your eo Ultra-Mobile Tablet PC The eo a7400 Ultra-Mobile Tablet PC features a number of physical characteristics designed to help you work as efficiently as possible. Take a moment to familiarize yourself with the controls and Input/ Output (I/O) ports on the faces and sides of the tablet.

Removable Battery Pack The eo a7400D comes standard (optional for some a7400T starter configurations) with a 3-cell Lithium-Ion battery pack that, in addition to the internal battery pack, provides for approximately seven (7) hours of system runtime.
Chapter 03 Battery Usage and Care eo a7400 Ultra-Mobile Tablet PCs features two (2) Lithium-Ion batteries, of which one is user replaceable, rechargeable and also hot swappable. This means that you can remove a discharged battery and replace it with a fully charged battery without putting the computer into hibernation mode, or fully powering it off, to prevent data loss.
Using the Batteries for the First Time Before using the Tablet PC on battery power for the first time, the batteries should be fully charged. On the front near the top right of the eo a7400 are two battery status indicators. These indicators will track the charging status of the two Lithium-Ion battery packs located inside the machine and on the back of the tablet (see the chapter entitled Touring Your eo a7400 Ultra-Mobile Tablet PC for the location of the indicators and battery pack).
2. Disconnect the AC adapter and power on the tablet. Let the batteries run down until the system automatically enters the Suspend/Hybernation mode and shuts down. 3. Reconnect the AC adapter, let the batteries fully charge (so both battery indicators glow green) and then run the computer with the external power still connected for at least a few hours before unplugging and running on battery power. The battery packs should now be properly calibrated.
computer is disconnected from the electrical outlet, the battery indicators will turn off. NOTE: The time to fully recharge both batteries is approximately 120 ~ 160 minutes when the computer is powered off. The time to fully recharge the battery when the computer is in use varies according to the power requirements of the operations that the computer is performing while charging. Problems Charging the Battery Environmental conditions can affect the ability of the computer to charge the battery.
Low Battery Warnings A battery’s indicator light will begin blinking orange to alert you to a “Battery Low” status. Typically, this is when the battery has reached a charge level of 10% or less. When there is only one minute of battery charge remaining, the computer will suspend its current state to the hard drive and power off. Plug in the AC adapter and turn the computer back on to resume your work.
If the computer is left without a power source for long periods of time, this battery can be exhausted and system information can be lost. This will not affect any of your data stored on the computer’s hard drive, but rather the settings in the BIOS that tell the computer how to operate. It is recommended, therefore, that if you plan to store the computer for a long time you periodically attach the battery packs, plug in the computer to an external power source and allow the battery to recharge.

Chapter 04 Using Your eo Ultra-Mobile Tablet PC with Microsoft® Windows® 7 Tablet PCs are nothing new to Microsoft. Since Windows® XP Tablet PC Edition, Windows has supported pen based computing. A few years later, Windows Vista™ added support for touch while considerably improving pen interaction. As laudable an effort as those two operating systems were for supporting tablet based computing, Microsoft upped the ante with the release of Windows® 7.
When using the stylus pen, hold it as if you were writing with a standard pen. When using an eo a7400 model that includes a digitizer, simply moving the tip of the digitizer stylus a few millimeters above the screen will automatically activate the panel. Without touching the screen, move the stylus around and watch how the pointer (shaped like a diamond instead of a traditional mouse arrow) follows the pen just as if you were moving a mouse. When you want to select or activate something, simply tap on it.
Selecting Multiple Items Windows® 7 is well aware of how you manipulate items on your computer with a mouse and how selecting multiple items, for such actions as moving or copying, might be a bit more challenging when using a stylus pen or you fingers. That is why Windows® 7 adds a selection check box in the upper left corner of icons and in the far left column of list views. In digitizer mode, hover over an icon on your desktop or in a Windows Explorer windows and you will see this check box appear.
In order to calibrate the touch screen: 1. Tap on “START g Control Panels g Hardware and Sound g Tablet PC Settings” 2. From the “Display” tab, tap on the “Calibrate...” button. 3. If your eo a7400 only has a touch screen, you should see the Calibration screen. If you have a dual mode digitizer+touch screen, you will be presented with a dialog box that asks you whether you want to calibrate for pen or touch. Tap the touch button and the touch calibration screen will appear.
Enabling, Disabling and Adjusting Touch Screen Features The “Touch” and “Panning” tabs in the “Pen and Touch” control panel are where the settings that control the touch interface reside. To get there, tap on “START g Control Panel g Hardware and Sound g Pen and Touch g Change touch input settings”. Enabling and Disabling Touch Input To disable touch input in Windows, uncheck “Use your finger as an input device”. Click the “Apply” button and the touch screen will not longer accept any input.
Double-tap on the picture of the door to test your new settings. Adjust the sliders until you can comfortably open and close the door. Using the Touch Pointer Because touch screens do not afford the same pointing abilities as a mouse or digitizer pen, performing certain mouse related functions are not always possible (i.e. hovering over a link on a web page). This feature in Windows® 7 essentially removes this limitation.
Panning Gesture Settings Windows allows you to move— or pan—around in a document or window simply by placing two fingers on the screen and then sliding them around. This is the most prevalent and often used touch gesture in Windows® 7. Disable Single Finger Panning Because sliding a single finger around on the screen is also used to select text and objects, you might find it less confusing to only allow panning by using two fingers.
screen and in motion. When the box is checked, a document or window will continue panning even after you remove your finger from the screen. Inertia allows for more efficient panning within a very long or wide document. How far inertia will continue to scroll the page depends on how far and fast your finger moved. TIP: The faster you drag your finger(s), the faster and farther your page will pan or scroll.
Finally, the Pen Tablet Properties control panel is where you customize the pen settings and behavior, customize the pen pop-up menu, and also calibrate the digitizer. All three control panels can be accessed by going to “START g Control Panel g Hardware and Sound”. Calibrating the Digitizer There are two ways of getting to the calibration routine for the digitizer: 1. In the Tablet PC Settings control panel, tap on the “Display” tab and then tap on the “Calibrate...” button.
DUAL MODE SCREEN NOTE: To calibrate the touch screen you must use either your finger or a stylus meant for use on a capacitive touch screen. If you attempt to use the digitizer stylus to calibrate the touch screen, you will be presented with an error message. When the calibration screen appears, follow the on-screen instructions by tapping in the center of each cross hair that appears on screen. When you have finished, choose to save the calibration data if you are satisfied with your results.
Double-tap Adjusts how fast and how far apart your pen taps can be on screen to perform double tap enabled actions. If you find it is too difficult to perform a double-tap action, adjust the Speed control slider toward “Slow” and the Spatial control slider toward “Large”. If you find you are often doubletapping when you don’t mean to, adjust the Speed slider toward “Fast” and the Spatial slider toward “Small”. Double-tap on the picture of the door to test your new settings.
Start Tablet PC Input Panel Enables and disables the ability to invoke (and subsequently close) the Input Panels by simply flicking your stylus side-to-side, three times above the screen. You can adjust how long of a side-to-side motion you must make with the “Gesture setting” slider.
Whether or not your system alerts you each time you tap on the screen with the stylus by making a clicking sound. Pen Pop-up Menu The pen pop-up menu is a handy little feature where you can set up a menu of keyboard commands and program short-cuts that will appear near the tip of your stylus when invoked.

If, after experimenting with any of the panel’s settings, you would like to return the Input Panel to its default configuration, just tap the “Restore” button located near the bottom of the “Advanced” tab. Improving Handwriting Recognition Windows® 7 includes several utilities designed to improve upon its default handwriting recognition accuracy.
There are two different training utilities: Target specific recognition errors does spot training on letters and numbers that usually account for the most common translation errors. Choose this training if for the most part Windows is correctly recognizing your handwriting with the exception of a few different characters. Teach the recognizer your handwriting style is a total handwriting training session.
ing” Tab and choose “Don’t use automatic learning, and delete any previously collected data”. Handedness Lastly, telling Windows which hand you write with will also improve handwriting recognition, as well as adjust where pop-up menus and tool tips appear. To tell Windows your handedness, tap on “START g Control Panels g Hardware and Sound g Tablet PC Settings” and then on the “Other” tab, select whether you are right or left handed.
Tap on an individual gesture to display a short movie that demonstrates how to perform the gesture. Another series of gestures you can invoke with a pen are known as “flicks”. There are two categories of flicks, navigational flicks and editing flicks and are used independently of the input panel anywhere in Windows. The four default navigational flicks are enabled in Windows® 7 by default. Editing flicks must be enabled in order to customize pen flicks.
Editing Flicks In addition to the above flicks, there are four default edit flicks: Flick Direction Action Performed Up Right Copy Down Right Paste Down Left Undo Up Left Delete Four navigational flicks are enabled by default in Windows® 7. The four edit flicks will need to be turned on if you want to utilize them. The do this: 1.
