CAUTION: Do not use a sharp object such as a ballpoint pen or pencil on the
touchscreen. Doing so may damage the touchscreen surface. Use your finger or

Double-tap the Touch Screen Mode shortcut on Windows desktop to open the
settings menu and select one of the options (as shown below).

C / 140 °F), set the mode to Touch instead of
Glove or Pen mode.
If liquid is spilled on the touchscreen causing a wet area, the area will stop
responding to any inputs. For the area to function again, you must dry it.

Select this if you prefer using
fingertips.
Also, select
this when
raindrops are falling
on the screen and should be
rejected as input.
