Q: How do I use this convertible notebook's pen?

A: The cordless pen's internal electronics allow you to write, tap, and input directly on the tablet's display. The first time you use the Gateway® convertible notebook, you should for both portrait and landscape orientations. Calibration ensures the accuracy of the pen and adjusts the digitizer's performance for different users.

The pen button serves the same function as the right button on a mouse. Press it and tap (button-tap) to open right-click menus when they are available.

The pen can do everything a mouse does. Just think "tap" instead of "click".
