Device control

You can control the device in several different ways: tap
the screen with the stylus or fingers; or press the scroll key
and other hardware keys on the device. For more
information on touch screen and hardware key interaction,
see the device help named after your product.

Text input methods

You can enter letters, numbers, and special characters in
several different ways. The virtual keyboards allow you to
tap characters with the stylus or your fingers. Handwriting
recognition allows you to write characters directly onto
the screen using the stylus as a pen.

You can also pair an external hardware keyboard with your
internet tablet using Bluetooth technology; or use the
integrated keyboard.

To enter text with an on-screen keyboard, full-screen
finger keyboard, or handwriting recognition method, you
must check that these features have been activated.

To define text input settings, tap

Once you have activated the text input methods, tap any
text field. The text input area appears on the touch screen

and displays one of the keyboards or the handwriting
recognition area, depending on the previously used text
input method.

Your device can complete words based on the built-in
dictionary for the selected text input language. The device
also learns new words from your input.

Integrated keyboard

When the integrated keyboard is in use, the on-screen text
input methods are disabled.

To enter text, press the keys on the keyboard. To put the
caps lock on, press the shift key twice.

To enter numbers, additional characters and common
symbols, press [Fn] and the desired character key. To lock
the [Fn] key, press it twice.

To enter accented letters, hold down [Chr], and press a
letter key repeatedly until the desired accented character
appears. To preview all special characters available, press
[Chr] briefly.

The integrated keyboard allows you to use global keyboard
shortcuts, as well as shortcuts for application specific
tasks. For example, to copy selected content, press
[Ctrl]+[C]; and to close the currently open application,
press [Ctrl]+[Q]. For more shortcuts, see the device help
for text input methods and integrated keyboard.
