S Pen
The S Pen is a stylus that assists
you in performing different
functions.
Remove S Pen
The S Pen stores inside your device for convenient
access.
1. Push the S Pen inward until it pops out of the
device.
2. Slide the S Pen out the rest of the way using the
notch on the end of the S Pen.
Caution: When you insert the S Pen into the slot,
insert the S Pen’s nib first. Failure to do so can cause
the S Pen to become stuck. Forcefully detaching the
S Pen from the slot may cause damage to the S Pen
and your device.
Air View
Hover the S Pen over the screen to preview content,
or view information about an item on the screen.
For example:
•
Hover over an email in a list to preview the
message before opening it.
•
Hover over a photo album to preview the contents
or see a picture enlarged.
•
Hover over the timeline during video playback to
preview and navigate to specific scenes.
•
Hover over an icon or screen button to view the
item’s name or description.
Note: The preview function is only available when the
SPen’s onscreen pointer is a solid color.
Direct Pen Input
When filling out a form field in an app (like Name or
Number in Contacts), you can open a Handwriting
window to allow you to write an entry with the SPen
rather than type.
To use the Handwriting window:
1. When filling out a form field, hover the S Pen over
the field until the Hand
writing icon appears.
2. Tap the Handwriting icon. The Handwriting
window appears.
3. Use the space provided in the window to write
an entry by hand using the S Pen. While writing,
your entries will be converted into text.
•
To edit the converted text, use the Space,
Delete, and Enter icons. To change the
position of the cursor, drag the pointer below
the cursor to the desired position for editing.
•
In Messages, tap DRAWING MODE to draw an
image and attach it to your message.
4. When finished, tap DONE.
