Using the ngerprint reader
The J3600 includes a ngerprint reader so that you can log
on to your tablet PC by scanning your ngerprint instead of
entering a password. This provides an added level of security
for your tablet PC and it’s also a fast and convenient way to
log on.
Using the digitizer 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 J3600 pen has a pressure-sensitive tip,
eraser, and a function button. Pressing the function button
is equivalent to right-clicking a mouse.

Using touch (optional feature)
NoTe Touch is an optional feature for the J3600.
In addition to using a pen, your J3600 tablet PC may be
equipped with touch, which means you can use your ngers
to select items and open les, zoom in and out, scroll through
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 this when you rst start using the tablet PC and when
the pointer doesn’t align with your pen or nger. To start the
calibration application, open the Motion Dashboard Pen &
Tablet category (see page 3).
