The digitizer is used as if it were a pen or pencil. Touch the screen with the tip of the digitizer then remove
the digitizer from the screen.
After each use, replace the digitizer in the digitizer holder for proper care and to preserve the life of the
digitizer. Using a digitizer is similar to moving the mouse pointer then left-clicking icons on a desktop com-
puter screen.
The following actions are available through the use of the digitizer:
■Open applications
■Choose commands in menu
■Select options in dialog box or drop-down menu
■Drag the scroll bar
■Drag across the text to select content
■Place the cursor in a text box before typing
A digitizer replacement kit is available.
To prevent damage or malfunction, always dry the touch screen when wet.
Making right/left click
1. In the system tray, tap the mouse icon to make a right click.
2. After tapping, the mouse icon highlights the right button of the icon in red. The next touch screen tap
is treated as a right click.
3. The mouse icon returns to the left button highlighted in red so subsequent taps are treated as left
clicks.

Using the digitizer
Below are the information when using a digitizer:

STpad EN Getting started
© Atlas Copco Industrial Technique AB - 9839 0882 01 15
■Use only the included digitizer to touch the screen. Do not place any objects on its surface and do not
press down strongly with sharp-pointed or hard objects that may leave marks (e.g. nails, pencils and
ball point pens).
■Use the digitizer only for touching the screen. Using it for any other purpose may damage the digitizer
and result in scratches on the screen.
■The digitizer uses electromagnetic induction and may not work properly near strong electrical field or
magnetic field such as:
■AM radio base stations or relay station antennas;
■CRT displays that generate strong electromagnetic field noise.
Move the digitizer away from such locations so it works correctly.
■The pointer cannot follow the digitizer movement if these are too quick
To make a selection, tap the screen once with the digitizer. To double-click, tap twice without pausing. To
do a right-click, tap the screen once and hold the tip of the digitizer on the screen, the right-click icon ap-
pears. Press the click button is the same as a right click.
Removing the protective film from the display
The front display of the STpad is protected during transport by a transparent film. This film should remain
on the front display during assembly to avoid damage to the front display surface. Remove the film only
once the assembly work has been completed.
