Interacting with the device
Your Ranger 5 / TSC5 can be easily operated with the touchscreen (using your fingers, a stylus, or a
glove), a mouse, an onscreen keypad, or the full built-in keypad. You can easily switch between any
of these input methods.
Using the touchscreen
Switching between finger, glove and stylus mode
Open Touch Panel Mode settings to select or switch between Finger, Glove, and Stylus mode.
● Swipe down on the Home Screen, then swipe down again and select the Settings icon.
Select Display then tap on the drop down arrow next to Advanced. Select Touch Panel
Mode and choose between Finger, Stylus or Glove Mode.
Trimble recommends that you always use Finger mode in the rain.
Using the stylus
Take notes, draw, navigate, and mark up documents in your apps using the stylus that comes with
your Ranger 5 / TSC5. To make a selection, tap the screen once on the item you want to select.
To display a right click sub-menu, tap and hold an item on the screen, then tap the required menu
item.
NOTE – Trimble recommends that you use the Trimble Ranger 5 / TSC5 handheld stylus accessory. There
are many other capacitive touch styli available that will work with the Ranger 5 / TSC5 as long as they have
a rubber tip; however the stylus available as an accessory is tuned for the Ranger 5 / TSC5 display and it
fits into the stylus holder. Trimble offers no guarantee that other styli will work.
