Tapping and writing problems
Problem
Solution
When I tap the
buttons or screen
icons, it activates the
wrong feature.
Calibrate the screen. See “Digitizer
preferences” in Chapter 9.
When I tap the Menu
icon ,
nothing
happens.
Not all applications or screens have menus.
Try changing to a different application.
I can’t get my
handheld to
recognize my
handwriting.
■
For your handheld to recognize hand-
writing input with the stylus, you need
to use Graffiti
®
writing. See “Using
Graffiti writing to enter data” in
Chapter 2.
■
Make the Graffiti character strokes in
the Graffiti writing area, not on the
display part of the screen.
■
Write Graffiti strokes for letters in the
left-hand side, and the strokes for
numbers in the right-hand side of the
Graffiti writing area.
■
Make sure that Graffiti is not shifted
into extended or punctuation modes.
See “Using Graffiti writing to enter
data” in Chapter 2.

See “Graffiti tips” in Chapter 2 for tips
on increasing your accuracy when you
write Graffiti characters.
