Calibrate the device
Calibrating the touch screen involves tapping the center of a cross with the
stylus as the cross moves around the screen. This process ensures that when
you tap the screen with your stylus, the tapped item is activated.
If your device does not accurately respond to screen taps, follow these steps
to re-calibrate it:
1. Tap Start > Settings > System tab > Screen.
2. On the General tab, tap Align Screen and follow the on-screen
instructions to complete the calibration.
Manage screen settings
The device’s display supports two orientation modes: Portrait and
Landscape. Do one of the following to change the screen orientation:
• Tap the Rotate Screen icon ( ) in the HTC Home’s Launcher tab to change
the screen orientation. See “HTC Home” later in this chapter for details.
• Tap Start > Settings > System tab > Screen > General tab to select the
screen orientation you want.
To smooth the edges of screen fonts for many programs, tap Start >
Settings > System
tab > Screen > ClearType tab, then select the Enable
ClearType check box.
To increase the readability or to see more content on the screen, on the Text
Size tab, adjust the text size by moving the slider.
Switch your device to Sleep mode
Press the POWER button shortly to turn off the display temporarily and switch
your device to Sleep mode. Sleep mode suspends your device to a low power
state while the display is off in order to save battery power.
Your device also automatically goes into Sleep mode when you leave the
device idle after a certain period of time.
