Step 5: Navigating with the Stylus Pen
Unlike a standard laptop or desktop PC, standard navigational
activities are completed using the stylus pen, or even your
fingers if using the touch screen. The tablet will react to the pen
differently depending on what mode you are using.
Touch Screen mode: Navigating with a touch screen is different
than navigating with a mouse. The pen will interact with the
computer whenever you touch it to the screen.
Hold the pen as if you were writing with a standard ink pen.
Instead of sliding the pen around the screen to get to where you
are going, just tap on what you want to interact with. Sliding the
pen while lightly touching the tip to the screen will move the on-
screen pointer around similarly to if you were using a mouse and
holding down the left mouse button. In other words you would
be performing what is know as a drag operation.
Also, remember that since the screen is sensitive to touch,
resting your hand on the screen while using the pen might make
the pointer react unpredictably.
Powering on the Sahara Slate PC.
Slide and hold the toggle switch until it lights up blue.
