6 Chapter 01: Getting Started
Many newer Windows applications are touch aware. This allows
you to navigate documents using what are collectively known
as touch gestures and flicks. For example, swiping your finger
upward while reading a web page, or a Word document, will
cause the screen to scroll downward (actually the screen moves
up, you scroll “down” through your document).
Additionally, swiping your finger right on the screen will page

Active Digitizer mode (a7400D only)
Using the eo a7400D in Active Digitizer mode is similar to
navigating with a mouse. If your eo a7400 came with a dual

you will use to interact with the digitizer panel. Only this stylus
will activate the digitizer panel.
Hold the stylus pen as if you were writing with a standard pen.
Place the tip of the stylus just above the screen and move it
around without letting it actually touch the screen. The screen
should automatically switch to Active Digitizer mode when it
senses the stylus, and the pointer should follow the tip of the
pen around the screen.
Moving the stylus away from the screen will cause it to auto-
switch back to touch mode. When in Digitizer mode your hand
may rest on the screen, since this will not affect the behavior of
the pointer.
TIP: When trying to select or activate something on the screen with
the stylus pen, pay attention to the position of the pointer icon instead
of the tip of the pen.
Tapping lightly on the screen with the tip of the stylus will
perform a standard left mouse button click. Tapping twice in
succession will perform a double-click. If you want to perform
