then tap Shut down. If Windows does not respond at all,
force the tablet to shut down by pressing the power
button for about ve seconds.
Using the ngerprint reader
The C5v/F5v comes with a ngerprint reader so that you can
log on to your tablet PC by scanning your ngerprint instead
of entering a password. This not only provides an added level
of security for your tablet PC, but it is also a fast and convenient way to log on.
Using the pen
An important difference between traditional PCs and tablet
PCs is that you frequently use a digitizer pen instead of a
mouse and keyboard. A pen can feel more natural in your
hand than a mouse and you can use the pen while standing
or walking. The C5v/F5v pen has a pressure-sensitive tip,
eraser, and a function button. Pressing the function button
is equivalent to right-clicking a mouse.

Note: Touch is an optional feature for the F5v Tablet PC.
In addition to using a pen, your F5v Tablet PC may be
equipped with “touch,”which means you can use your ngers

browser windows and documents and more.
Touch works like a mouse. Tap to select an item and doubletap to open it.
tip To open a right-click menu using touch, press your
nger on the display until a swirl appears, then lift your
nger and the shortcut menu appears.
Calibrate the pen and your nger so that they can be detect-
ed more accurately on the touchscreen display. You should
do so when you rst start using the tablet PC and when the
pointer doesn’t align with your pen or nger. To start the ap-
plication, open the Motion Dashboard Pen & Tablet category
(see page 4).
