■ The Graffiti writing area is divided into two parts: one for writing the letters of the alphabet
and one for writing numbers. The small division marks at the top and bottom of the Graffiti
writing area indicate the two separate areas.
To write Graffiti letters:
1. Tap the screen where you want your text to go.
Note: You need to tap above the Graffiti writing area, and must see a blinking cursor before
you write the text.
2. Use the tables on the following pages to find the stroke shape for the letter you want to
create. For example, the stroke shown below creates the letter “n.”
Note: There are two different stroke shapes available for some letters. For these letters,
choose the one that’s easiest for you.
As you’ll see later, you use the same shape to create both the uppercase and lowercase version
of a letter.
3. Position the stylus in the left-hand side of the Graffiti writing area.
4. Start your stroke at the heavy dot and draw the stroke shape as it appears in the tables.
5. Lift the stylus from the screen at the end of the stroke shape.
That’s all there is to it! When you lift the stylus from the screen, your communicator recognizes
your stroke immediately and prints the letter on the screen next to the cursor.
As soon as you lift the stylus from the screen, you can begin the stroke for the next character you
want to write.
Important: You must begin the character strokes in the Graffiti writing area. If you do not make
Graffiti strokes in the Graffiti writing area, your communicator does not recognize
them as text characters.
