3. Tapping versus clicking
Just as using a mouse pointer to click icons on your computer screen, you
use the stylus to tap on icons on your G18 touch-screen. Tapping is the
basic action used to execute tasks on your G18.
IMPORTANT: Always use the point of the stylus for tapping or
making strokes on the G18 screen. Never use a ballpoint pen, pencil, or
any other sharp object to write on the G18 screen.
4. Starting G18 and calibrating its screen
The first time you start the G18, setup instructions appear onscreen. These
instructions include a calibration screen, or digitizer. Calibration aligns the
internal circuitry of the G18 with its touch-sensitive screen so your G18
can detect the task you want to perform when you tap an element on the
screen.
To calibrate your screen:
1.Tap the Applications icon, and then tap Prefs.
2.In the pick list in the upper right corner of the screen, tap Digitizer.
