Useful Information

When using the digitizer/touchscreen
Use the pen (included) with the computer. Do not use pencils, implements with sharp tips or hard objects for screen

operations. The screen may be damaged as a result.

Do not place any object on the surface or press down forcefully with sharp-pointed objects (e.g., nails), or hard ob-

jects that can leave marks (e.g., pencils and ball point pens).

Do not apply pressure to the perimeter of the display panel. The cursor may move to the edge of the display.
Do not operate the computer when such things as dust are on the screen. Do not allow contact with substances

that could dirty the screen, such as oil.

Do not apply too much pressure when operating the screen. Only a light touch is required to operate the screen.

Applying too much pressure may damage the surface.

When the screen becomes dirty, use the Soft Cloth (included) with the computer. (For more information, refer to

Reference Manual “Suggestions About Cleaning the LCD Surface”.)

Do not touch the screen outside of the LCD display area. The screen input area is defi ned by the LCD display

screen. Touching the screen outside of the display area may result malfunctions or damage to the screen.

The screen uses electromagnetic induction and may not work properly near strong electrical fi eld or magnetic fi eld

such as:

Near AM radio base station or relay station antennas
Near CRT displays that generate strong electromagnetic fi eld noise

Move the screen away from such locations so it will work properly.

The cursor cannot follow the digitizer pen or fi nger movement if you move the digitizer pen or fi nger too quickly.
