Convertible Notebook
The convertible notebook combines the computing power of a traditional
notebook PC with the dynamic functionality of a tablet PC. Below you will find
useful information to help you get the most out of your new computer.
Turning on your notebook
The power switch is located on the right side of the notebook to provide
convenient access while in tablet mode.
Converting to tablet mode
Your notebook features a touch-sensitive, swivel-mount screen which allows it
to convert to tablet mode.
1 Open the screen.
2 Rotate the screen 180° clockwise.
3 Fold the screen over the keyboard.
To return to notebook mode, lift the screen and rotate it counter-clockwise.
Note: A magnetic lock snaps into place to prevent the screen from
inadvertently rotating while in tablet mode. To release the
magnetic lock, gently lift the screen.

G-sensor
The G-sensor automatically changes the screen orientation depending on how
the notebook is held. To set the G-sensor rotation, click on the Intel Graphics
Media Accelerator Driver (circled) in the Notification Area and select Graphics
Properties.

Under the Hot Keys tab, check to see if the Hot Keys are enabled. The Hot Keys
must be enabled for the G-sensor to function properly.
Note: G-sensor is active only in tablet mode. Not all applications
will display properly under portrait mode.
Pen-Mode and Finger-Mode
Your computer has a stylus that is stored in the lower right-hand side of the
screen.
While Pen-Mode is active, your computer will only react to the stylus. This
avoids inadvertently moving the cursor when your hand touches the screen
while you are in tablet mode.
A pop-up dialog will ask if you want to enable Pen-Mode or Finger-Mode when
launching supported programs.
Note: You may only use the stylus in Pen-Mode.
Calibrating your screen
You may find that you need to recalibrate the screen if it does not react
properly to input when in tablet mode. To do this click Start > Control Panel >
Hardware and Sound > Tablet PC Settings. On the Display tab, select Calibrate.
Using the stylus, follow the instructions to tap the screen on the crosshairs
displayed.

Right-clicking
To access right-click features while in tablet-mode, tap and hold on the screen
until a ring appears and then lift the stylus.
Programmable key
The programmable key ( ) allows you to launch predefined applications or
user-defined applications at a push of a button. The first time you press the key,
you will be able to select the application the key will launch.
Virtual keyboard
A virtual keyboard is available for text input while in tablet mode. To open the
virtual keyboard, tap the screen and then tap the Input Panel tab that appears
by default on the left edge of the screen. When you open the virtual keyboard,
it floats on top of any open windows.
You can customize the virtual keyboard settings by clicking Start > Control
Panel > Tablet PC Settings and in the Other tab select Go to Input Panel
Settings.
Additional configuration options are available in Start > Control Panel under
Tablet PC settings and Pen and Touch.
