USING THE SIDE SWITCH
The pen side switch has two customizable functions that can be selected by rocking the switch in either 
direction. You can use the switch whenever the pen tip is within 10 mm (0.4 inch) of the tablet active area. 
You do not have to touch the pen tip to the tablet in order to use the switch.
The default switch positions are:
• Upper switch: double-click. This is easier than tapping twice with 
the pen tip.
• Lower switch: right-click. This brings up application-specific or 
icon-specific menus.
Tip
:  To position a document or image in any direction within the 
active window, set a switch function to P
AN/SCROLL. Then 
press the pen button and move the pen tip across the tablet to 
reposition the image. Release the pen button or lift the pen tip 
from the tablet surface when done.
In some application windows the document will precisely 
follow the screen cursor as you move the pen tip. In others it will simply move in the same general 
direction as the screen cursor.
