Chapter 3 Using the Motion C5 17
Using the pen
You can use the pen to write on the display and navigate the operating system. A pen can
feel more natural in your hand than a mouse, and you can use the pen while standing or
walking. The following table show the various mouse actions and their pen equivalents.
Some software applications, such as Microsoft Word, support ink drawing and ink
annotations. Some applications, such as art or drawing programs, are designed especially
for ink input. For more information about a particular application, open the application help
and search for “pen”, “ink”, or “digitizer“.
You can use Tablet PC Input Panel instead of a keyboard to enter text. For more information,
see “Using Tablet PC Input Panel” on page 18.
Store the pen in the pen holder when not in use. To put the pen in the pen holder, press it
until it clicks into place. To remove the pen, press down on one end and grab the other end.
The pen includes extra tips. You can use the included replacement tool to change the tips.
See “Replacing pen tips” on page 49.
Important: The C5 responds to the C5 pen only. Do not use traditional pens or other
pointing devices with the C5.
