Getting Started

Step 4: Calibrate the digitizer

With a Tablet PC, you frequently use a tablet pen instead of a mouse and keyboard for input. 

Use the pen to move the pointer around the screen, and tap the screen to click. Use 

Tablet PC Input Panel and handwriting recognition to enter text.

The digitizer detects the position of the pen or your finger on the display. You should 

calibrate the digitizer the first time you start the Tablet PC, and again whenever the pointer 

does not align with the pen tip or your finger.

1. Press the Dashboard button (

) to start Motion Dashboard.

You can use Motion Dashboard to configure your Tablet PC and to start commonly used 
tablet applications. See “Using Motion Dashboard” on page 20.

2. Under Pen, tap Calibrate Digitizer.

3. Follow the instructions in the calibration program.

Note: If you are left-handed, see “How do I adjust the Tablet PC for left-handed use?” on 
page 66.
