Q: How do I use the Gateway 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 your convertible notebook, you should calibrate your pen for both portrait and landscape orientations. Calibration ensures the accuracy of the pen and adjusts the digitizer's performance for different users.

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

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.

Note: A finger-tap or PDA stylus has no effect on the tablet's display, and ink pens and other pointed objects could damage the surface, so always use the pen that came with the tablet.

Note: The battery in this pen is not replaceable.
