Using the display
Your convertible notebook’s screen combines the eye-soothing readability of a
liquid-crystal display with the responsiveness of a pen controller. The screen
provides a hard, smooth writing surface, minimizes glare, and increases
readability.
■ Unlike other touchscreens and PDAs, your convertible notebook’s display
responds only to your convertible notebook’s pen. Your convertible
notebook will not respond to a PDA stylus or the touch of a fingertip.
■ Steady your hand on the display surface while writing. The pressure of
your hand or fingers will not affect any open programs.
■ Switching from AC to battery power dims the display slightly to save
battery power.
Converting the display from notebook to tablet mode
Important
Although you can use the pen to write on
the screen when the convertible
notebook is in notebook mode, for best
results and maximum stability, only write
on the screen while the convertible
notebook is in tablet mode.
You can convert the display from notebook to tablet mode with the convertible
notebook turned on or off.
To convert the display from notebook mode to tablet mode:
1 Open the LCD panel to the normal viewing position.
2 Locate the rotation direction arrow on the LCD panel hinge.
3 Rotate the LCD panel in the direction of the rotational arrow until the back
of the panel is facing you. The panel soft-locks into the final position.
