Touch Pad
Handling the Touch Pad
By design the touch pad is to be used with a finger tip only. Do not place any object on the
work surface or press down forcefully with sharp-pointed objects (e.g., nails) or hard
objects that can leave marks (e.g., pencils and ball point pens).
Try to avoid having any harmful substances such as oil, come in contact with the touch
pad. The cursor may not work properly in such cases.
When the touch pad becomes dirty:
Wipe to remove dirt by using a dry soft cloth such as gauze or a soft cloth first applied with
detergent diluted with water and then thoroughly wrung.
Do not use benzene or thinner, or rubbing alcohol. Doing so may adversely affect the
surface, e.g., discoloration. In addition, do not use commercially-available household
cleaners and cosmetics, as they may contain components harmful to the surface.
22
Touchscreen
Your computer is equipped with a touchscreen function allowing you to perform the same
operations as the touch pad or mouse by touching the surface of the display with the stylus
(included). If the cursor cannot be pointed correctly with the stylus, perform [Calibration].

CAUTION
When the internal LCD is used alone or with an external display simultaneously, the
touchscreen function will not work properly when the area of either display is set
larger than default setting of the display resolution.
If a change is made to the display resolution, or the cursor can not be pointed
correctly with the stylus, be sure to perform [Calibration]. ( page 25)
When mouse drivers are installed (e.g., Intellimouse), the touchscreen function may
not be used.
When you want to uninstall or reinstall the touchscreen (touch pad) driver: page 19
Even when only an external display is in use, the cursor will move on the external
display if the surface of the internal LCD is touched when the touchscreen driver is
active. Therefore, do not touch the internal LCD when only an external display is in
use.
The touchscreen function can not be used in the Setup Utility or when using the full
screen in [Command Prompt].

or hard objects for screen operations.
Do not place any object on the surface or press down forcefully with sharp-pointed objects
(e.g., nails), or hard objects that can leave marks (e.g., pencils and ball point pens).
Do not operate the computer when such things as dust are on the screen. Do not allow
contact with substances that could dirty the touchscreen, such as oil.
When the touchscreen becomes dirty:
• Wipe to remove dirt by using a dry soft cloth included with the computer.
• Do not use benzene or thinner, or rubbing alcohol.
• For more information, refer to "Suggestions About Cleaning the LCD Surface" that
comes with the soft cloth.
Handling the Stylus
Clean the stylus tip and screen prior to operation. Foreign particles can scratch the screen
and impede the operation of the stylus.
Use the stylus only for the computer screen. Using it for any other purpose may damage
the stylus and scratch the screen.

Panasonic Hand Writing
Simple characters and figures like signatures and arrows can be made by using the work
surface of the touch pad or the touchscreen, and can be saved to a file as a bitmap (.bmp)
format.
Any change to the size of an image must be made before beginning to draw. If the image
size is changed after the drawing is completed, the image (quality) will not be sharp.
Data can be copied to the clipboard with [Edit] - [Copy]. Copied data can be added to
other applications that support the bitmap format by using the paste function.
The file size of a bitmap image to be saved or pasted to another application can be
changed with [Option] - [Window size].
Changing the number of colors of the display may affect the Panasonic Hand Writing
screen. If the screen is affected, click on the taskbar with the right mouse button, close
the application by selecting [Exit Panasonic Hand Writing], and then run Panasonic Hand
Writing again.
Drawing accuracy may be degraded if another application, such as disk accessing, is
being executed simultaneously. Begin drawing only after other applications have been
closed.
NOTE
If a commercially-available pointing device (e.g., mouse) driver is installed and
overwrites the driver of the touch pad, Panasonic Hand Writing will no longer work.
