Elements of the handheld interface

Like using a mouse to click elements on a computer screen, using the stylus to tap elements on your handheld screen is the basic action you use to get things done on your handheld.

The first time you start your handheld, the setup instructions appear on the screen. These instructions include a digitizer screen that aligns the internal circuitry of your handheld with its touch-sensitive screen so that when you tap an element on the screen, the handheld can detect exactly which task you want to perform.

Elements of the handheld interface

IMPORTANT

Always use the point of the stylus for tapping or for making strokes on the handheld screen. Never use an actual pen, pencil, or other sharp object to write on the handheld screen, because this will scratch the screen.

With your handheld turned on, you can tap the handheld screen to perform many operations. For example, you can do the following:

■ Open applications.

■ Select menu commands.

■ Use the status bar.

■ Initiate a Find operation to search through applications installed on your

handheld for specific text. (Find operations do not search through applications on expansion cards.)

■ Select options in dialog boxes.

■ Open the onscreen keyboards.

Just as you can drag the mouse to select text or move objects on your computer, you can drag the stylus to select text. You can also use the stylus to drag the slider of any scroll bar.
