Using the stylus
Launch the Touch Control app to switch between Finger, Glove, and Stylus mode.
Take notes, draw, navigate, and mark up documents in your apps using the stylus that
comes with your device. To make a selection, tap the screen once on the item you want to
select. To display a right-click menu, tap and hold an item on the screen, then tap the
required menu item.
NOTE – Spectra Precision recommends that you use the Spectra Precision Ranger 7 data collector
stylus accessory. There are many other capacitive touch styli available that will work with the Ranger
7 data collector as long as they have a rubber tip; however the stylus available as an accessory is
tuned for the Ranger 7 data collector display and it fits into the stylus holder. Spectra Precision offers
no guarantee that other styli will work.
Using the keypad
The Ranger 7 data collector has a full physical QWERTYor ABCDkeypad. You can configure
some keypad behaviors using the Built-in Keyboard Settings utility. See Configuring built-in
keypad settings, page 42.
CAUTION – When you first set up the device, make sure you select English US (Eng
US) as the keypad language, independent of the keypad layout (ABCD or QWERTY) and
the language you use on the Ranger 7 data collector.
