Using a Stylus

Note: Always usethepoint of thestylus fortappingormakingstrokes onthetouchscreen.

Never use an actual pen, pencil, or sharp/abrasive object to write on the touch screen.

Hold the stylus as if it were a pen or pencil. Touch an element on the screen with the tip of the stylus then remove the stylus from the screen.

Firmly press the stylus into the stylus holder when the stylus is not in use.

Using a stylus is similar to moving the mouse pointer then left-clicking icons on a desktop computer screen. Using the stylus to tap icons on the touch screen is the basic action that can:

•Open applications

•Choose menu commands

•Select options in dialog boxes or drop-down boxes

•Drag the slider in a scroll bar

•Select text by dragging the stylus across the text

•Place the cursor in a text box prior to typing in data

•Place the cursor in a text box prior to retrieving data using an input/output device.

A right-click can be simulated by touching the touch screen with the stylus and holding it for a short time.

A right click is generated by tapping the mouse icon , usually located in the upper right hand corner of the screen. After tapping, the mouse icon highlights the right button. The next touch screen tap is treated as a right click. The mouse icon returns to the left button highlighted so subsequent taps are treated as left clicks.

Note: If themouseiconis not displayed, this featurecanbeenabledby tappingthePenMount icon intheSystem Tray. From themenuthat pops up, tap Right Button toenablethemouseicon. Whenthis optionis enabled, a checkmark is displayedinthemenu.

The Biometric Mouse can be used instead of the touch screen. A stylus replacement kit is available.

Biometric Mouse

The Marathon contains a biometric mouse located on the right next to the keypad.

The biometric mouse performs two functions, security and screen navigation (simulating a mouse). Use the F9 function key to toggle between the two features.

Security Features

As a security device, the biometric mouse can restrict device access to only those users whose fingerprint scan is stored on the Marathon. Examples include:

•Windows logon can be performed with a fingerprint scan as opposed to the traditional user name and password. You must create a Windows user account with a password, then shutdown and restart the Marathon before you can add fingerprint security to that user account. After rebooting, create fingerprint security, then shutdown and restart the Marathon to save the password in the registry.

•Internet Explorer web site login information (user name and password) can be stored and accessed only after a successful fingerprint scan.

•SecureLock, a part of the Fingerprint software package, can be used to create a virtual disk that can only be accessed after a successful fingerprint scan. Without an authorized fingerprint scan, the drive is not accessible or displayed in Windows explorer.

•Files and folders may be assigned encryption that limits access to only those users who have a stored fingerprint.

For information on using the finger print security feature, select Start | Programs | Fingerprint Software | Help.

Navigation

By default, the biometric mouse is enabled for cursor navigation. Sliding a finger over the biometric mouse moves the cursor in the same direction the finger moves. The sensitivity (motion speed) may be adjusted or the feature disabled. Select Start | Settings | Control Panel | TruePrint to configure this feature.

Tapping a finger on the biometric mouse is treated as a mouse left-click. Two taps in quick succession is treated as a doubletap. Tapping and holding is treated as a right-click.

E-EQ-MARATHONRG-A [ 16 ] Marathon™ Reference Guide

Touch Screen

Calibrating the Touch screen

Although the Marathon touch screen is installed and calibrated before the Marathon leaves LXE, users may make adjustments to the calibration. To calibrate the touch screen, select Start | Programs | PenMount Universal Driver | Utility | PenMount Control Panel. On the Device tab, double-click the PenMount 6000 USB icon. On the Calibrate tab, tap either the Standard Calibration or the Advanced Calibration button.

Advanced Calibration uses more calibration points than the Standard Calibration option.

Follow the instructions on the screen. The calibration utility displays a red square on the screen. Touch the center of the square with the stylus and hold for a few seconds. Release and repeat with the next square. After all locations have been touched, the calibration utility saves the settings and automatically closes.

If no input is received, the calibration utility times out. Press the ESC button to exit the calibration utility without saving any changes.

Refresh the Touch Screen Calibration Points

Select Start | Programs | PenMount Universal Driver | Utility | PenMount Control Panel. On the Device panel, singleclick the PenMount 6000 USB icon. Click the Refresh button. The touch screen is refreshed immediately. Click OK to close the control panel.

Troubleshooting

If when using the Intel Ultra Mobile GMA Driver and rotating the screen, the touch screen will require re-calibration for the rotated screen touch areas. Connect and use a USB mouse, instead of screen touch, to access the control panels needed for re-calibration.

Disabling the Touch Screen

If desired, the touch screen can be disabled in the Windows control panel. Once disabled, the touch screen remains disabled until it is enabled again.

To disable the touch screen, access the Windows control panel and click on System | Hardware | Device Manager | Mice and other pointing devices. Under the list there is a listing for PenMount USB Mouse. Right click on this listing and select Disable from the Device Usage menu.

To enable the touch screen, follow the same process, selecting Enable from the right click menu.

If your Marathon is shipped with a Microsoft Windows operating system pre-installed, it is necessary to complete the Windows licensing/registration screens when starting the Marathon for the first time. To complete this information, you may need the Microsoft Windows software key that was included with the Marathon.

When Microsoft Windows is started by the user for the first time (known as the “out of the box experience”), a series of questions is presented. If prompted, the product key (printed on a decal attached to the Marathon) must be entered. The series of prompts and responses allow the user to configure Microsoft Windows XP on the Marathon according to the user’s needs.

Proceed with the remainder of the boot process.
