Using the Stylus

Your HP iPAQ comes with a stylus that you should use to tap or

device other than the stylus that comes with it or an approved
replacement to tap or write on the screen. If you lose or break your
stylus, you can order extras at www.hp.com/go/ipaqaccessories.

You can perform three basic actions using the stylus:

Tap —Lightly touch the screen to select or open an item. Lift the
stylus after you tap an item. Tapping is equivalent to clicking an
item with the mouse on your computer.

Drag—Place the point of the stylus on the screen and drag an
item across the screen without lifting the stylus until you have
completed the selection. Dragging is equivalent to dragging with
the left mouse button pressed on your computer.

Tap and hold—Hold the stylus pointer on an item for a short
time until a menu displays. Tapping and holding is equivalent to
right-clicking your computer mouse button. When you tap and
hold, a circle of red dots appears around the stylus to indicate that
the menu will soon pop up.
