This chapter explains how to use your SoMo 650 through its buttons, the
hold switch, stylus, Start menu, online Help, and the Radio Manager.
S
TYLUS
You can use the stylus in three ways.
• Tap an item: Use to select an option, similar to left-clicking a
mouse.
• Tap and hold an item: Reveals a submenu, if available. Similar
to right- clicking a mouse.
• Drag: Hold the stylus against the screen and drag to highlight
multiple items, or to move the position of an item. Similar to left-
clicking and dragging a mouse.
A tethered stylus is also available online at:

OLD SWITCH
The hold switch on the left side of the SoMo 650 can be used to
prevent accidental input by disabling all buttons and the screen.
Any applications or wireless connections running on the device will
remain active.
To put your device on hold, move the switch in the down position.
The hold switch is not related to the software lock function
accessible from the Today screen.
When the hold switch is activated, by default, the screen will turn black,
and the screen and all buttons on the sides and front of the SoMo will
be disabled, including the power button.
To enhance your user experience, Socket has a Hold Switch Utility that
enables you to configure the hold switch settings. (See Chapter 2.)
