2 Chapter 01: Getting Started5. Operating System Getting Started Guide16. Standard a7400 Battery Pack27. Stylus Pen3Setting Up Your eo Ultra-Mobile Tablet PCPlease read the following steps to begin using your new Ultra-Mobile Tablet PC as quickly and easily as possible.1. Inserting the Battery Pack if your Ultra-Mobile Tablet PC shipped from the dealer without a pre-inserted battery.2. Connecting the eo Ultra-Mobile Tablet PC to an external power source.3. Connecting applicable peripherals and networking cables.4. Powering on the eo Ultra-Mobile Tablet PC5. Completing the Operating System InstallationStep 1: Inserting the Battery PackTurn the eo Ultra-Mobile Tablet PC over and place it (optionally), screen down on a solid, clean, at surface. You can also insert the batteries while holding the system if you prefer.CAUTION: When turning over the eo a7400, be careful not to place it on a surface that could scratch or damage the screen. You can place the included slip case on the surface before carefully setting the computer down to protect the screen.Align the battery into the battery compartment and then slide it into the computer until it clicks securely into place. You may 1 Please be sure to check that the Getting Started Guide matches the Operating System (OS) preloaded on your eo a7400. There will not be a Getting Started Guide included if you ordered your Tablet PC with a Linux Distro.2 The eo a7400D comes standard with a Lithium-Ion removable battery pack. Starter congurations of the eo a7400T may not include a removable battery.3 The eo a7400D comes standard with a Wacom stylus pen for use in digitizer mode only. The pen does not work with the touch screen, and therefore is not included with the eo a7400T.
Chapter 01: Getting Started 3notice that the battery bay is marked as . This is because the rst battery is internal and not user replacable.Slide the battery-locking tab (the tab closest to the top of the tablet) up to the “locked” ( ) position. Once the locking tab clicks into position, the battery should be securely seated.To Remove the Battery PackRemove the power cord from the “DC Power In” port if plugged in to an external power supply to minimize the chance of electri-cal shock. Turn over the Tablet PC and (optionally) place it on a solid, clean at surface. You can also remove the battery while holding the system if you prefer.Slide the locking tab down to the “unlocked” ( ) position to unlock the battery. Use your other hand to slide the battery release latch in the direction of the arrow engraved on the tab and hold it there. Carefully slide the battery out of its bay.The second battery on the eo a7400 is hot swappable thanks to its internal rst battery. This means you can change out a discharged battery for a spare, charged battery without rst hav-ing to power o the system. You should, however, make sure the rst internal battery as some charge remaining before removing the second battery to replace it.IMPORTANT: If you plan on removing the second battery when the internal battery is completely discharged, make sure you rst shut down the eo a7400 Tablet PC before actually removing the second battery to prevent data loss. Step 2: Connecting the Ultra-Mobile Tablet PC to an External Power SourceLocate the AC adapter and the power cord. Plug the power cord securely into the AC adapter. Plug the AC adapter’s connection cable into the “DC Power In” port on the right side of the tablet. Once the adapter plug is securely in place, plug the power cord into an external power socket.
4 Chapter 01: Getting StartedNOTE: When you rst connect the tablet into an external power source, the battery charge indicators will begin to glow amber. When the battery is fully charged the indicator will turn green. See the section entitled Battery Care for tips on maximizing battery life and performance.Step 3: Connecting Applicable Peripherals and Networking CablesIf you would like to use any external peripheral with the tablet (i.e. USB mouse, USB keyboard, etc.) or are planning to connect to the Internet and/or a corporate LAN using a wired connection (RJ45) as opposed to wirelessly, connect the external peripheral now. See the chapter entitled Touring Your eo Ultra-Mobile Tablet PC, to identify which ports to use.Step 4: Powering on the eo Ultra-Mobile Tablet PCLocate the three power switches on the top on the tablet. The switch is the computer’s main power toggle. Slide it to the right and hold it there until it emits a blue glow (about 2-3 seconds) and then release it. The eo Ultra-Mobile Tablet PC will now boot up.Step 5: Completing the Operating System InstallationWhen your system powers on for the rst time, Windows will have a few questions for you to answer in order to localize your installation.!@
Chapter 01: Getting Started 5Refer to your operating system’s manual for information on any of the questions you are unsure how to answer.Interacting with the Active Digitizer and/or Touch ScreenUnlike a regular laptop or desktop PC, standard navigational activities on a Tablet PC are typically completed using your ngers or a stylus pen. Navigating with a touch screen is dier-ent from navigating with a mouse, while using a stylus pen in Active Digitizer mode on the eo a7400 is actually quite similar to navigating with a mouse.Touch ScreenThe eo a7400 features a capacitive touch screen that supports multi-nger touch (up to four points). The capacitive panel will only react to the touch of bare skin, a special capacitive stylus pen, or for medical professionals, a latex gloved hand.Simply tap on the element you wish to interact with in order to select it, or if the element is a button, to activate it. Sliding your nger while touching the screen will move the on-screen pointer around as if you were using a mouse and holding down the left mouse button. In other words, you would be performing what is known as a drag operation.Also, as the screen is sensitive to touch, resting your palm on it while tapping with your nger may make the pointer react unpredictably.Tapping on the screen will perform a standard left mouse button click. Tapping twice in succession is the same as double-clicking your mouse button. Pressing and holding your nger tip on the screen for about a second or so will perform a right mouse button click. An animated circle will draw around the tip of your nger. Lift your nger from the screen to complete the click.TIP: When trying to select or activate something on the screen with a capacitive stylus pen, pay attention to the position of the pointer icon instead of the end of your nger.
6 Chapter 01: Getting StartedMany newer Windows applications are touch aware. This allows you to navigate documents using what are collectively known as touch gestures and icks. For example, swiping your nger 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 nger right on the screen will page you forward through your web browser history or Word docu-ment, while pinching two ngers together will zoom out of (or magnify down) your page. You can learn more about touch gestures and icks in the chapter Using Your eo a7400 Ultra-Mobile Tablet PC with Windows 7.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 mode screen, it will also have come with a special stylus pen that 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 aect 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
Chapter 01: Getting Started 7a right mouse button click, press and hold down the tip of the stylus lightly on the screen. In a moment, an animated circle will draw around the pointer similar to when in touch screen mode. Lift the stylus from the screen to complete the button press.Dragging the stylus around while touching the screen is equiva-lent to holding down the left mouse button and dragging.Similar to when in touch screen mode, Windows 7 supports pen gestures as a way to invoke short-cuts to aid you while working. You can learn more about pen gestures in the chapter Using Your eo a7400 Ultra-Mobile Tablet PC with Windows 7.
Chapter 02: Touring Your eo Ultra-Mobile Tablet PC 9The eo a7400 Ultra-Mobile Tablet PC features a number of physical characteristics designed to help you work as eciently as possible. Take a moment to familiarize yourself with the controls and Input/ Output (I/O) ports on the faces and sides of the tablet. Understanding the layout of the system will help you use your eo a7400 more eciently while in the eld or on-the-go. Chapter 02Touring Your eo Ultra-Mobile Tablet PCThe eo a7400T features a capacitive touch screen, while the eo a7400D features an all new auto-switching, dual mode screen with Wacom active digitizer (pen) and capacitive touch screen.

Chapter 02: Touring Your eo Ultra-Mobile Tablet PC 115. Auto-Switching Dual Mode Screen (a7400D) Screen mode is set to Touch Screen by default. When the stylus pen’s writing tip is within sensing distance—approxi-mately 12-15mm—the screen will automatically switch to Active Digitizer mode. When the pen’s writing tip is moved away from the screen, it will switch back to Touch Screen mode. When in Digitizer mode, the screen is not sensitive to touch (except by the stylus pen’s writing tip), and thus resting your hand on the screen while writing or navigating will have no inuence on the pointer’s position. Capacitive Touch Screen (a7400T) Touch Screen is responsive to touch by any object, as the screen’s sensors react purely to the electrical charge emitted by a human touch, as opposed to a magnetic tip or electrical conduction. Resting your hand on the screen while writing or navigating may aect the pointer’s position.6. Dual Digital Microphone Array Microphone array records audio with higher delity for more accurate voice recognition. Recording input source can be toggled between the internal array and an external audio source plugged into the Audio In port (see * in the Left Side View section later in this chapter) via the Realtek Audio Control Applet.

Chapter 03: Battery Usage and Care 21eo a7400 Ultra-Mobile Tablet PCs features two (2) Lithium-Ion batteries, of which one is user replaceable, rechargeable and also hot swappable. This means that you can remove a discharged battery and replace it with a fully charged battery without putting the computer into hibernation mode, or fully powering it o, to prevent data loss.Depending on your system’s conguration and your application usage, a fully charged set of batteries should allow you to run your eo a7400 for approximately six (6) hours before needing to recharge the batteries or swapping out the external battery for a charged one. Operations that will signicantly reduce battery life include, but are not limited to, the following:1. Using external bus-powered USB drives such as optical, oppy and hard disk drives.2. Using wireless communications devices, including the inter-nal WiFi networking card, optional 3G WWAN data module, Bluetooth adapter, or USB Cellular/3G modems.3. Using high-brightness display settings, 3D screen savers, or other computationally intensive programs such as graphics heavy games, media players and 3D graphics applications.4. Running the computer in maximum performance mode.5. Using the computer in overly-hot environmental conditions. Chapter 03Battery Usage and Care
22 Chapter 03: Battery Usage and CareUsing the Batteries for the First TimeBefore using the Tablet PC on battery power for the rst time, the batteries should be fully charged. On the front near the top right of the eo a7400 are two battery status indicators. These indica-tors will track the charging status of the two Lithium-Ion battery packs located inside the machine and on the back of the tablet (see the chapter entitled Touring Your eo a7400 Ultra-Mobile Tablet PC for the location of the indicators and battery pack).Partially discharged batteries will cause the indicators to glow orange when attached to an external power source. When each battery is fully charged, its corresponding indicator will turn green. Be sure that both indicators have turned green before at-tempting to run the eo a7400 on battery power for the rst time.Calibrating the batteriesAfter using the system for a while, you may nd that battery performance diminishes. This is normal for Lithium-Ion batteries, however if you see a large drop o in capacity, the batteries may simply need to be calibrated.NOTE: This can happen if the Tablet PC is mostly used while connected in to an external power source. If this is your typical usage model, you should consider calibrating the batteries every month or two to maintain optimal capacity.To calibrate the batteries, follow these steps:1. Turn the computer o. Connect the AC adapter and let the batteries fully charge.
Chapter 03: Battery Usage and Care 232. Disconnect the AC adapter and power on the tablet. Let the batteries run down until the system automatically enters the Suspend/Hybernation mode and shuts down.3. Reconnect the AC adapter, let the batteries fully charge (so both battery indicators glow green) and then run the computer with the external power still connected for at least a few hours before unplugging and running on battery power.The battery packs should now be properly calibrated. If you nd that battery life doesn’t correspond to the battery status as reported by your operating system, repeat steps 2 -3 again.If after performing a calibration for a second time you still nd you are having a problem with the battery life, you will need to contact TabletKiosk Technical Support for more information or to request a BIOS update or replacements.In general, running the system until a “Battery Low” warning indicator appears and then fully charging the battery (full discharge/charge cycle) will ensure the accuracy of the battery status gauge and prolong the battery’s charge eciency.Running your system until the batteries are almost totally drained, like described in the calibration routine, on a regular basis is not recommended as it can damage the battery’s ability to hold a charge.Charging the Batteries Under Typical ConditionsWhen you connect the computer to an electrical outlet, the Smart Battery IC in each battery pack checks its charge level and temperature status. If charging is necessary, the corresponding battery indicator on the front of the tablet will glow orange and the AC adapter will automatically begin charging the batteries.When a battery is fully charged, its corresponding indicator will change to green and the battery’s charge will be maintained while connected to the external power source. When the
24 Chapter 03: Battery Usage and Carecomputer is disconnected from the electrical outlet, the battery indicators will turn o.NOTE: The time to fully recharge both batteries is approximately 120 ~ 160 minutes when the computer is powered o. The time to fully recharge the battery when the computer is in use varies according to the power requirements of the operations that the computer is performing while charging.Problems Charging the BatteryEnvironmental conditions can aect the ability of the computer to charge the battery. If the battery is too hot from either being used in your computer or being exposed to an overly hot environment, the battery may not charge when you connect the computer to an electrical outlet.If this occurs, disconnect the computer from the electrical outlet and allow it and the battery to cool to room temperature. Then reconnect the computer to an electrical outlet to continue charging the battery. Battery StatusWindows 7 has an applet in the Control Panel that will display an icon in the Windows taskbar indicating when the computer is run-ning on battery power or is attached to the AC adapter. This applet also displays a meter that indicates approximately how much of a charge is remaining in each of the batteries. Additionally, you can choose to change the system’s power plan to either extend battery performance or improve system performance.
Chapter 03: Battery Usage and Care 25Low Battery Warnings A battery’s indicator light will begin blinking orange to alert you to a “Battery Low” status. Typically, this is when the battery has reached a charge level of 10% or less.When there is only one minute of battery charge remaining, the computer will suspend its current state to the hard drive and power o. Plug in the AC adapter and turn the computer back on to resume your work.About Battery UsageOver time, even with proper care, battery performance (the time the battery can operate the computer before needing to be recharged) will decrease. Depending on how often the battery is used, how many times it has been charged and the conditions under which it is used, you likely will need to purchase replace-ment batteries during the life of your Tablet PC.IMPORTANT: To avoid damage, only use TabletKiosk replacement batteries. To prevent loss of data, do not remove both battery packs at the same time while the system is powered on unless attached to an external power source. Also, be sure to check the status of each battery before removing it. If you remove a battery and the remaining battery in the system does not retain a sucient charge, the tablet could power o unexpectedly.NOTE: Do not dispose of batteries with household waste. When a battery can no longer hold a sucient charge, call your local waste disposal or environmental protection agency for advice on how or where to dispose a lithium-ion battery.Real Time Clock BatteryIn order to maintain certain system information while the power is o, the motherboard contains a small built-in battery pack that constantly supplies power to the system.
26 Chapter 03: Battery Usage and CareIf the computer is left without a power source for long periods of time, this battery can be exhausted and system information can be lost. This will not aect any of your data stored on the com-puter’s hard drive, but rather the settings in the BIOS that tell the computer how to operate. It is recommended, therefore, that if you plan to store the computer for a long time you periodically attach the battery packs, plug in the computer to an external power source and allow the battery to recharge.If you receive a BIOS error when booting the system for the rst time after removing it from prolonged storage, it probably means that the battery’s level got too low and the BIOS settings were lost. Enter the BIOS and choose to restore the settings to default. If this does not correct the error, contact your dealer or visit TabletKiosk’s website at www.tabletkiosk.com and submit a support request to obtain proper BIOS settings.Storing a BatteryWhen storing your computer for an extended period of time, it is recommended that you remove the battery packs and store them in a dry, cool location.Ideally, store a battery with a 50 - 75% charge. Even when not plugged into the system, over time the batteries will slowly lose their charge.For optimal longevity of the battery packs, it is important to periodically charge them in order to keep their electrons mov-ing. Even charging the batteries for ten to fteen minutes every 60 - 90 days should be sucient to keep the batteries in good condition.Since a battery will slowly discharge during prolonged storage, you should fully charge it before using it again.

Chapter 04: Using Your eo Ultra-Mobile Tablet PC with Microsoft® Windows® 7 29Tablet PCs are nothing new to Microsoft. Since Windows® XP Tablet PC Edition, Windows has supported pen based comput-ing. A few years later, Windows Vista™ added support for touch while considerably improving pen interaction.As laudable an eort as those two operating systems were for supporting tablet based computing, Microsoft upped the ante with the release of Windows® 7.This chapter contains tips and details to help you get the most from your eo a7400 when using Microsoft® Windows 7.Navigating in Windows® 7 on a Tablet PCTypically, when working on a Tablet PC, you use a stylus pen or your ngers instead of a mouse and keyboard to interact directly with objects on your screen. You can open, move, edit and delete items — such as icons, les, windows and more — with easy-to-use basic functions similar to those performed with a mouse.Stylus Pen/Finger Action Equivalent Mouse ActionPoint (pen only) Move MouseTap ClickDouble-tap Double-clickPress and hold Right-clickDrag Drag Chapter 04Using Your eo Ultra-Mobile Tablet PC with Microsoft® Windows® 7
30 Chapter 04: Using Your eo Ultra-Mobile Tablet PC with Microsoft® Windows® 7When using the stylus pen, hold it as if you were writing with a standard pen. When using an eo a7400 model that includes a digitizer, simply moving the tip of the digitizer stylus a few mil-limeters above the screen will automatically activate the panel. Without touching the screen, move the stylus around and watch how the pointer (shaped like a diamond instead of a traditional mouse arrow) follows the pen just as if you were moving a mouse.When you want to select or activate something, simply tap on it. This is the same as clicking the left mouse button. When you are using the system in digitizer mode, feel free to rest your hand on the screen as it will only react to the pen. Be aware, however, if you raise the tip of the pen too far from the screen, it will automatically revert to touch screen mode and the pointer may react to the presence of your resting hand.When using a capacitive stylus or your nger in touch screen mode, instead of sliding the pen or your nger around the screen to move the pointer, simply tap on with what you want to interact. Sliding the pen while lightly touching the tip to the screen will move the on-screen pointer around as if you were using a mouse and holding down the left mouse button. In other words, you would be performing what is known as a drag operation.To perform a right mouse click in both digitizer and touch screen mode, press and hold on the screen until you see a circle draw around the tip of your pen or nger, then release to perform the actual click.NOTE FOR TOUCH SCREEN USERS: Additionally, to perform a right mouse click, you can tap on an object (desktop, icon, etc.) with one nger to select it and then, with you nger still on the screen, tap with a second nger to perform the right-click.Also, remember that since the touch screen is, by name, sensitive to touch, resting your hand on the screen while navigating with your ngers, or when using a stylus, might make the pointer react unpredictably.
Chapter 04: Using Your eo Ultra-Mobile Tablet PC with Microsoft® Windows® 7 31Selecting Multiple ItemsWindows® 7 is well aware of how you manipulate items on your computer with a mouse and how selecting multiple items, for such actions as moving or copying, might be a bit more chal-lenging when using a stylus pen or you ngers. That is why Windows® 7 adds a selection check box in the upper left corner of icons and in the far left column of list views.In digitizer mode, hover over an icon on your desktop or in a Windows Explorer windows and you will see this check box appear. Tap on it to place a check mark in the box. Hover over another icon and, when it appears, tap in its check box. In touch screen mode, tap an icon to highlight it. The selection check box should appear. Tap in it to add it to the selection.Now, press and hold either icon and start dragging and you should notice that both icons move together.This multiple selection feature works with other types of opera-tions such as cutting, copying and pasting. It also works with editing icks (see the section Editing Flicks a little later in this chapter).Touch Screen CalibrationOften times, out of the box, you will nd that the touch screen on your eo a7400 work just ne. Over time you may nd that the accuracy of either the touch screen or digitizer may begin to fade. When this happens, it is time to calibrate your screen.
32 Chapter 04: Using Your eo Ultra-Mobile Tablet PC with Microsoft® Windows® 7In order to calibrate the touch screen:1. Tap on “START g Control Panels g Hardware and Sound g Tablet PC Settings”2. From the “Display” tab, tap on the “Calibrate...” button.3. If your eo a7400 only has a touch screen, you should see the Calibration screen. If you have a dual mode digitizer+touch screen, you will be presented with a dialog box that asks you whether you want to calibrate for pen or touch. Tap the touch button and the touch calibration screen will appear.DUAL MODE SCREEN NOTE: To calibrate the touch screen you must use either your nger or a stylus meant for use on a capacitive touch screen. If you attempt to use the digitizer stylus to calibrate the touch screen, you will be presented with an error message.4. Follow the on-screen instructions to calibrate your screen. Tap in the center of each of the cross hairs that appear and then choose to save or discard the calibration data depending on whether you are satised that you accurately touched the center of each cross hair.
Chapter 04: Using Your eo Ultra-Mobile Tablet PC with Microsoft® Windows® 7 33Enabling, Disabling and Adjusting Touch Screen FeaturesThe “Touch” and “Panning” tabs in the “Pen and Touch” control panel are where the settings that control the touch interface reside. To get there, tap on “START g Control Panel g Hardware and Sound g Pen and Touch g Change touch input settings”.Enabling and Disabling Touch InputTo disable touch input in Windows, uncheck “Use your nger as an input device”. Click the “Apply” button and the touch screen will not longer accept any input. Make sure you have a mouse and/or keyboard available to attach to the system if your eo a7400 doesn’t have a digitizer panel or you will not be able to control Windows. Re-check the box and click “Apply” to re-enable touch input.Touch Action: Double Tap SettingsTo adjust how fast and how far apart your ngers can be to perform double tap enabled actions, tap on the “Settings” button to open the “Double Tap Settings” control panel.If you nd it is too dicult to perform a double-tap action, adjust the Speed control slider toward “Slow” and the Spatial control slider toward “Large”.If you nd you are often double-tapping when you don’t mean to, adjust the Speed slider toward “Fast” and the Spatial slider toward “Small”.
34 Chapter 04: Using Your eo Ultra-Mobile Tablet PC with Microsoft® Windows® 7Double-tap on the picture of the door to test your new settings. Adjust the sliders until you can comfortably open and close the door.Using the Touch PointerBecause touch screens do not aord the same pointing abili-ties as a mouse or digitizer pen, performing certain mouse related functions are not always possible (i.e. hovering over a link on a web page). This feature in Windows® 7 essentially removes this limitation.When enabled, by checking the box “Show the touch pointer when I’m interacting with item on the screen”, a graphical representation of a mouse will appear near the on-screen pointer (now a standard arrow icon) when you tap somewhere on the screen. While the mouse is visible, tapping on the left or right mouse button will perform the equivalent action the same as if you clicked with a real mouse. Tapping on the mouse and sliding your nger around the screen will move the pointer just the same as if you were moving a real mouse.TIP: When using the Touch Pointer to move the pointer arrow around screen, remember to watch the arrow icon for positioning and not the mouse image or your nger.The “Advanced Options...” button opens a panel that allows the positioning (relative to the pointer arrow), appearance and velocity behavior of the Touch Pointer to be adjusted.
Chapter 04: Using Your eo Ultra-Mobile Tablet PC with Microsoft® Windows® 7 35Panning Gesture SettingsWindows allows you to move—or pan—around in a document or window simply by placing two ngers on the screen and then sliding them around. This is the most prevalent and often used touch gesture in Windows® 7.Disable Single Finger PanningBecause sliding a single nger around on the screen is also used to select text and objects, you might nd it less confusing to only allow panning by using two ngers.To disable panning with a single nger, uncheck the box “Turn on Single Finger Panning”. Simply check it again to re-enable single nger panning.NOTE: In order to pan left and right with a single nger, you must rst pan a short distance up or down to enable single nger panning left and right. This helps prevent accidental selecting and dragging of text or objects around the screen.InertiaInertia is a property of physics that allows for the continuation of movement by an object in motion after the force that propels the object ceases to exert its aect. Windows inertia functions the same way and can be controlled or even disabled altogether.Unchecking the box “Enable inertia after a pan gesture” will disable inertia altogether and only allow panning within a docu-ment or window to occur while your nger is in contact with the
36 Chapter 04: Using Your eo Ultra-Mobile Tablet PC with Microsoft® Windows® 7screen and in motion. When the box is checked, a document or window will continue panning even after you remove your nger from the screen.Inertia allows for more ecient panning within a very long or wide document. How far inertia will continue to scroll the page depends on how far and fast your nger moved.TIP: The faster you drag your nger(s), the faster and farther your page will pan or scroll.To allow a document to continue scrolling longer or faster after removing your nger from the screen, adjust the Inertia Set-tings slider toward “More”. For shorter and slower panning after removing your nger from the screen, adjust the slider towards “Less”.To help identify when you have reached as far in a particular direction as you can pan, the document window will bounce back as if running into a wall. To turn o this animated visual cue, simply uncheck the box “Enable boundary feedback for pan gestures”.Conguring and Calibrating the DigitizerThe Electromagnetic Active Digitizer by Wacom® is the highest resolution input panel available on the eo a7400. In order to switch to it, all you need to do is bring the tip of the digitizer stylus pen to within about 10mm of the screen’s surface and it will automatically activate. Move the stylus away and it will automatically switch back.There are a few dierent control panels in Windows® 7 that congure the way the digitizer functions. The Tablet PC Settings control panel is where you specify your handedness and where you can go to calibrate the digitizer. The Pen and Touch control panel is where you can congure tap settings, pen icks and handwriting recognition.
Chapter 04: Using Your eo Ultra-Mobile Tablet PC with Microsoft® Windows® 7 37 Finally, the Pen Tablet Properties control panel is where you customize the pen settings and behavior, customize the pen pop-up menu, and also calibrate the digitizer.All three control panels can be accessed by going to “START g Control Panel g Hardware and Sound”.Calibrating the DigitizerThere are two ways of getting to the calibration routine for the digitizer:1. In the Tablet PC Settings control panel, tap on the “Display” tab and then tap on the “Calibrate...” button. Select “Pen Input” and the digitizer calibration screen will appear. 2. In the ISD/Pen Tablet Properties control panel, tap on the “Calibrate” tab and then tap on the “Calibrate...” button to open the digitizer calibration screen.To calibrate the digitizer, tap the “Calibrate...” button in the Tablet PC Settings control panel and then choose “Pen Input” from the pop-up window.
38 Chapter 04: Using Your eo Ultra-Mobile Tablet PC with Microsoft® Windows® 7DUAL MODE SCREEN NOTE: To calibrate the touch screen you must use either your n-ger or a stylus meant for use on a capacitive touch screen. If you attempt to use the digitizer stylus to calibrate the touch screen, you will be presented with an error message.When the calibration screen appears, follow the on-screen instructions by tapping in the center of each cross hair that appears on screen. When you have nished, choose to save the calibration data if you are satised with your results. If you think you may have missed the center of some/one of the cross hairs, click “Cancel” to abandon the calibration data and keep the current calibra-tion settings, or tap “Try again” and repeat the calibration.Pen ActionsIn the “Pen and Touch” control panel on the “Pen Options” tab is a table that lists the pen actions and their equivalent mouse actions, similar to the table at the beginning of this chapter. Below the table is a “Settings...” button that will allow you to adjust the way the pen performs these actions (all except single-tap which has no settings options).
Chapter 04: Using Your eo Ultra-Mobile Tablet PC with Microsoft® Windows® 7 39Double-tapAdjusts how fast and how far apart your pen taps can be on screen to perform double tap enabled actions.If you nd it is too dicult to perform a double-tap action, adjust the Speed control slider toward “Slow” and the Spatial control slider toward “Large”.If you nd you are often double-tapping when you don’t mean to, adjust the Speed slider toward “Fast” and the Spatial slider toward “Small”.Double-tap on the picture of the door to test your new settings. You can continue to adjust the sliders until you feel comfortable opening and closing the door.Press and HoldEnables and disables the ability to perform a right-click by pressing on the screen and holding. You can also adjust how long you must keep your pen pressed to the screen before the circle appears and draws around the tip of the stylus (Speed), and how long you can keep the pen pressed to the screen and still perform the right-click when you release (Duration).
40 Chapter 04: Using Your eo Ultra-Mobile Tablet PC with Microsoft® Windows® 7Start Tablet PC Input PanelEnables and disables the ability to invoke (and subsequently close) the Input Panels by simply icking your stylus side-to-side, three times above the screen. You can adjust how long of a side-to-side motion you must make with the “Gesture setting” slider.Pen CongurationUsing the ISD/Pen Tablet Properties control panel, you can adjust: How hard you must press the eraser and pen tip to ad-just the width of the lines they draw and erase (this is known as pressure sensitivity) What action the pen but-ton performs (if your stylus has only one button, it is programmed with the lower button on the control panel) How close together you must click on screen to perform a double-click (same as “Double-tap” setting in the “Pen and Touch” control panel)The ISD/Pen Tablet Properties control panel gives you access to the stylus pen’s advanced functionality provided by Wacom® digitizers.
Chapter 04: Using Your eo Ultra-Mobile Tablet PC with Microsoft® Windows® 7 41 Whether or not your system alerts you each time you tap on the screen with the stylus by making a clicking sound.Pen Pop-up MenuThe pen pop-up menu is a handy little feature where you can set up a menu of keyboard commands and program short-cuts that will appear near the tip of your stylus when invoked.NOTE: You can also set the digitizer to work in either pen (absolute positioning coordinates) or mouse (relative positioning coordinates) behavior mode, but we recommend leaving your digitizer in pen mode as mouse mode can be a bit confusing for most people.Adding a command to the menu1. Tap on the “Add” drop down menu and select “Keystrokes...”2. Tap on the “Add Special” drop down to choose from a predened list, or use either the on-screen or a USB keyboard, to enter your own custom combi-nation (including modier keys). Tap the “OK” button The “Add” dropdown menu lets you select keystroke commands or program shortcuts to add to the Pen Pop-up Menu. You can add as many as you’d like and then reorder them by dragging them.In order to invoke the Pop-up Menu, remember to set the pen button to “Pop-up Menu”.

Tap the edge of the panel to display the on-screen writing pad and keyboard. These input tools allow you to enter information directly into any application that accepts standard keyboard inputs.NOTE FOR DIGITIZER USERS: By default, when using an Active Digitizer, the panel will be hidden until you bring the tip of the stylus near the screen. The edge of the panel will sit, just visible, at the edge of the screen. Hovering your pen over that edge of the Input Panel will cause it to slide out a bit making it easier to activate.When using an application which is pen aware (at this time, most are) simply tapping where you would like to enter text will place an I-beam cursor and display a tool tip icon of the Input Panel. Tapping on this icon will open the Input Panel automatically.Change the program’s name in the “Name” eld to whatever you’d like it to display as in the menu.|By default, the Input panel sits docked on the left side of the screen.

If, after experimenting with any of the panel’s settings, you would like to return the Input Panel to its default conguration, just tap the “Restore” button located near the bottom of the “Advanced” tab.Improving Handwriting RecognitionWindows® 7 includes several utilities designed to improve upon its default handwriting recognition accuracy. To begin training Windows to better recognize and translate your handwriting, from the Input Panel, tap on “Tools g Personalize Handwrit-ing Recognition” to open the “Handwriting Personalization” application.NOTE: You can also access the Handwriting Personalization application from the START Menu under “All Programs g Accessories g Tablet PC”.Links at the bottom of this panel are short-cuts to performing some other handwriting optimization tasks. You can also learn more about handwriting recognition personalization by tapping on the bottom most link.
Chapter 04: Using Your eo Ultra-Mobile Tablet PC with Microsoft® Windows® 7 51There are two dierent training utilities: Target specic recognition errors does spot training on letters and numbers that usually account for the most common transla-tion errors. Choose this training if for the most part Windows is correctly recognizing your handwriting with the exception of a few dierent characters.Teach the recognizer your handwriting style is a total hand-writing training session. You will be presented with a series of sentences to write that will cover all letters, numbers and symbols. This thorough training is more time consuming and only necessary if you nd Windows’s ability to translate your handwriting to be poor.Automatic LearningAnother feature Windows® 7 oers to improve handwriting recognition is handwriting personalization through “Automatic Learning”. This enables Windows to learn your handwriting on the y as you write. This feature is enabled by default, so if you are the primary user of your Tablet PC you don’t have to do anything to enable it.If your eo a7400 is going to be used by many dierent people, you may want to disable this feature and delete any user specic handwriting personal-ization data in order for Windows to recognize the widest variety of handwriting.To disable Automatic Learning go to “START g Control Panel g Hardware and Sound g Pen and Touch”. Tap on the “Handwrit-You can disable automatic learning if more than one person will regularly use the Tablet PC in order to keep Windows generic handwriting recognition settings.
52 Chapter 04: Using Your eo Ultra-Mobile Tablet PC with Microsoft® Windows® 7ing” Tab and choose “Don’t use automatic learning, and delete any previously collected data”.HandednessLastly, telling Windows which hand you write with will also improve handwriting recogni-tion, as well as adjust where pop-up menus and tool tips appear. To tell Windows your handedness, tap on “START g Control Panels g Hardware and Sound g Tablet PC Set-tings” and then on the “Other” tab, select whether you are right or left handed.Using Gestures to Improve ProductivityWhen using Windows® 7 on a standard laptop or desktop PC, many people take advantage of added eciency provided by keyboard short-cuts. Tablet PC users have another way to improve eciency while working by using Windows® 7 built-in screen gestures to open applications, close applications, move data between applications, and navigate within applications. Windows has two dierent types of gestures depending on the type of input screen used: pen gestures and touch gestures.Pen GesturesIn the world of pen computing, a gesture is a quick movement of the pen that invokes specic short-cut actions normally completed by the press of a key on a keyboard. For example, you can enter a space, you can delete text and you can enter a line return. These actions are accomplished in the Input Panel.At the top on the input panel, just to the left of the close button, is a button that shows how to accomplish a series of gestures.
Chapter 04: Using Your eo Ultra-Mobile Tablet PC with Microsoft® Windows® 7 53Tap on an individual gesture to display a short movie that demonstrates how to perform the gesture.Another series of gestures you can invoke with a pen are known as “icks”. There are two categories of icks, navigational icks and editing icks and are used independently of the input panel anywhere in Windows.Navigational FlicksThere are four default navigational pen icks in Windows® 7:Flick Direction Action PerformedUp Page UpRight BackDown Page DownLeft ForwardThe four default navigational icks areenabled in Windows® 7 by default. Editing icks must be enabled in order to customize pen icks.The four editing icks can be enabled using the option box in the Pen and Touch Control Panel. Tap the “Customized...” button to edit their actions.
54 Chapter 04: Using Your eo Ultra-Mobile Tablet PC with Microsoft® Windows® 7Editing FlicksIn addition to the above icks, there are four default edit icks:Flick Direction Action PerformedUp Right CopyDown Right PasteDown Left UndoUp Left DeleteFour navigational icks are enabled by default in Windows® 7. The four edit icks will need to be turned on if you want to utilize them. The do this:1. Tap on “START g Control Panels g Hardware and Sound g Pen and Touch” to open the Pen and Touch control panel.2. From within the Pen and Touch control panel, tap on the “Flicks” tab.3. At the top of the tab there is a check box that should be selected called “Use icks to perform common actions quickly and easily”. Below it are two option boxes, select “Navigational icks and editing icks” to enable both types of icks.NOTE: To disable icks altogether, uncheck the top check box “Use icks to perform common actions...”You’ll know you have successfully invoked a pen ick as the name and icon representing the ick will fade in briey on your screen where you actually performed the pen ick gesture.Customizing Pen FlicksIf you would like to assign dierent actions to any of the eight (8) ick directions, you can do so by tapping on the “Customize...” button in the “Flicks” tab of the “Pen and Touch” control panel. In order to gain access to the “Customize...” button, both naviga-tional and editing icks must be enabled. If you do not want to have all eight ick directions enabled, you can choose to disable
Chapter 04: Using Your eo Ultra-Mobile Tablet PC with Microsoft® Windows® 7 55whichever ones you like in the customize panel.In the customize panel, you can modify the action of any ick direction either by choos-ing a predened action—of which there are 19—in a ick direction’s drop down menu or by creating your own custom action. To create a custom action:1. Choose “(add)” from the specic direction’s drop down menu.2. At the bottom of the panel are two elds that should now be active. Tap in the top eld labeled “Name:”. Enter the name you would like for the action you are about to create by tapping on the keyboard tool tip that appears. This is the name that will display in the drop down menu and as a tool tip when you invoke the ick action.3. Either tap on the “Tab” key in the on-screen keyboard or tap on the “Keys:” eld to switch focus to it and then enter your desired keyboard key combination for the action you want to create. For example, tap on
56 Chapter 04: Using Your eo Ultra-Mobile Tablet PC with Microsoft® Windows® 7the [Windows] modier key and then the [E] key to open the Windows Explorer.4. Tap the “Save” button to save your custom ick action.When you are done customizing all of your icks, tap on the “OK” button at the bottom of the panel to return to the “Pen and Touch” control panel and then tap on the “Apply” button to activate and test your icks.Touch GesturesAs the name implies, touch gestures are meant to be used when navigating on a touch screen. Windows Touch enables several gestures that support both single and multi-touch contacts. Standard Windows multi-touch gestures only support capacitive touch screens.Enabling and Disabling Multi-Touch GesturesMany of the most useful gestures built into Windows® 7 require two nger touch. To disable these behaviors, simply uncheck the box “Enable multi-touch gestures and inking”.Panning with (or without) InertiaPanning is similar to scrolling up/down or left/right on a page with a mouse, except it is easier and more natural. You can use either one or two ngers to pan up or down, but you must use two ngers to pan left and right.Simply place your nger tip or stylus on the page and move your nger in the direction you want to page to pan. To pan rapidly in
Chapter 04: Using Your eo Ultra-Mobile Tablet PC with Microsoft® Windows® 7 57a particular direction, swipe your nger and remove it from the screen. Selecting / DraggingThis is similar to dragging with a mouse to select elements such as text. Using one nger, drag to the left or right over the objects or text you wish to select.ZoomingUsing two ngers, place them on the screen and then pinch them together to zoom out for a larger view, or spread them apart to zoom in for a closer view.RotatingPlace two ngers on the screen and then rotate them clockwise or counter clockwise to rotate an object such as a photo or PDF document. Alternately, you can place two ngers on the screen and then rotate one nger around the other in either a clockwise or counter clockwise direction.Two Finger TapTap two ngers on the screen around where your intended target is the midpoint in order to zoom into that area to perform actions on small objects such as tapping on a text link in a web page.FlickingFlicking is a quick horizontal or vertical swipe to scroll up and down or page forward or backward. To scroll down a web page, for example, ick up on the page with one nger. To page forward or backward, swipe to the left or right. Connecting to the InternetYour eo a7400 allows you to connect to the Internet in dier-ent ways. The ways vary depending on the user’s networking
58 Chapter 04: Using Your eo Ultra-Mobile Tablet PC with Microsoft® Windows® 7environment as well as personal preference and available equip-ment. This section outlines two of the most common ways:1. Using a wired LAN (Local Area Network)2. Using a wireless LANUsing a Wired LANTo connect to the Internet via a wired LAN environment, typi-cally an Ethernet port or a broadband modem must be within the reach of the networking cable you are using. 1. Connect an Ethernet networking cable into the LAN port of your eo a7400 and then connect the other end into your broadband modem or the appropriate LAN port as instructed by your network administrator.2. If your network or Internet Service Provider (ISP) uses a Dynamic Host Control Protocol (DHCP) server (as many do) you should nd that you can already connect to the internet. If not, continue to the next step.3. Tap on START g Control Panel and then tap on “View network status and tasks” under the “Network and Internet” category.
Chapter 04: Using Your eo Ultra-Mobile Tablet PC with Microsoft® Windows® 7 594. Under “View your active net-works” in the window, look for “Access type Connections” and make sure that the “Local Area Connection” is visible. If not, recheck that your networking cable is properly connected, or contact your network administrator.5. Tap on the “Local Area Connection” link and then tap on the “Properties” button from the “Local Area Connection Proper-ties” window that appears. If Windows asks you for permission to continue, tap on the “Continue” button.6. On the Networking Tab, you’ll see a list box called “This connection uses the following items:” Select
60 Chapter 04: Using Your eo Ultra-Mobile Tablet PC with Microsoft® Windows® 7“Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4)”, and tap the “Properties” button to open the “Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) Properties” window.7. If DHCP is used on your network, tap “Obtain an IP address automatically” and “Obtain DNS server address automatically”. Otherwise, enter the correct IP and DNS server addresses by selecting the two options that begin with “Use the following…” If you are unsure of which option to use, contact your network administrator or your Internet Service Provider (ISP).8. After entering the correct information in the “Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) Properties” window, tap “OK” to accept your changes and close the window.9. Repeat steps 5 through 7 selecting “Internet Protocol Ver-sion 6 (TCP/IPv6) this time if your network supports it.10. If you need to specify additional DNS servers, WINS servers or gateways, tap on the “Advanced...” button to open the “Advanced TCP/IP Settings” panel. 11. Tap “OK” in the “Local Area Connection Properties” window to nish and accept the changes.Using Both DHCP and a Static IP AddressIf you are using alternating networks with either DHCP or static IP addressing, you can use alternative settings that will enable simultaneous congurations of both DHCP and a static IP. This will allow you to connect to both of the networks without having to recongure each time you want to switch.
Chapter 04: Using Your eo Ultra-Mobile Tablet PC with Microsoft® Windows® 7 611. Follow steps 1 through 7 above when using a wired LAN connection.2. Tap on the “Alternate Conguration” tab and select the “User congured” option. Enter the correct values in the appropriate elds. If you are unsure of which values or options to use, contact your network administrator or the technical support line of your ISP.3. When you have com-pleted the entire congu-ration, tap “OK” to accept the settings and close the panel.Using a Wireless LANThe WiFi wireless network adapter built into your eo a7400 is compatible with 802.11b/g/n wireless networks, and therefore can connect to wireless routers or access points that support any of these standards.1. Turn on the WiFi transmitter using the toggle switch on the top of your tablet.2. In the System Tray on the Windows Task bar nd the wireless networking connection icon ( ) and tap on it to bring up the Wireless Network Connection list.3. From the list that appears, choose the network you wish to connect to and tap the “Connect” button. If no wireless networks appear after a few
62 Chapter 04: Using Your eo Ultra-Mobile Tablet PC with Microsoft® Windows® 7moments, tap on “Refresh” icon above the network list on the right side of the panel.NOTE: If you want to connect to this network automatically whenever Windows detects it, make sure the “Connect Automatically” check box has a check in it.4. If the wireless network you are attempting to connect to is security-enabled, you will see a dialog box requesting a network security key. Enter the proper key and then tap “OK”.Most failures to connect to a wireless network occur because the network security key has been improperly entered. Be very careful when entering this security key. If you do not know the correct security key to enter, or still can’t connect after entering the security key properly, contact your network administrator or the technical support line of your ISP.Bluetooth® Wireless ConnectivityBluetooth® is a short-range wireless technology you can use to transfer data between your eo a7400 and other wireless devices that use Bluetooth, such as wireless keyboards and mice, cell phones, PDAs and even printers. Bluetooth-enabled devices can communicate with each other, without cables, up to a distance of approximately 10 meters (or about 30 feet).NOTE: The wireless range can be shortened from interference caused by other wireless devices and/or by walls made of dense building materials. To connect to a Bluetooth® enabled device:1. Turn on the Bluetooth transmitter using the toggle switch on the top of your tablet.
Chapter 04: Using Your eo Ultra-Mobile Tablet PC with Microsoft® Windows® 7 632. Tap on “START g All Programs g Bluetooth g Add New Connection”. Make sure your Bluetooth device is powered on and in Discoverable mode.3. The Bluetooth Wizard will search out all Bluetooth devices within range that are set to be discoverable. If there is only one device found, it will automatically begin the pairing process. If there is more than one discoverable device found, it will open a window prompting you to choose which device you would like to pair with your Tablet PC.4. If the device you are pairing requires a security code to be entered, a window will open asking you to enter the requested PIN.If a device is found that requires authentication, a dialog box will open prompting you to enter a security key.Enter the code shown on your device to complete the pairing procedure.
64 Chapter 04: Using Your eo Ultra-Mobile Tablet PC with Microsoft® Windows® 75. The Wizard should com-plete the pairing process and inform you that your device is now paired and available. You will then be returned to the Bluetooth Settings panel where your Bluetooth device will be listed in the window.6. If there were additional Bluetooth devices dis-covered by the Wizard, it should pop a new window asking if you would like to pair the additional devices. If the wizard does not appear, tap on the “New Connection” button to begin pairing your remain-ing devices.7. If your additional devices are not found, simply place the target Bluetooth device into pairing mode again and start the process over. As pairing mode broadcasts an active signal, it draws additional power and therefore is set to last only a short duration of time to conserve battery life.Your device(s) should now be connected to your tablet and available for use. If successful, the Bluetooth device(s) will be listed in the Bluetooth Settings window and a Bluetooth logo in the System Tray will be present with a green “B”.Red icon means Bluetooth transmitter is o.White icon means Bluetooth transmitter is on but no device(s) connected.Green icon means Bluetooth transmitter is on and device(s) connected.
Chapter 04: Using Your eo Ultra-Mobile Tablet PC with Microsoft® Windows® 7 65If you have trouble connecting to your Bluetooth device, make sure you completed the above steps in the time period that your device is in pairing mode. If your device exits pairing mode before you can connect, re-enable it and, depending on the state of the connection process, redo any applicable steps.If you are certain that you completed the above steps while your Bluetooth device was in pairing mode and still can not con-nect successfully, you may need to manu-ally set the proper Bluetooth connection parameters. To do this, simply restart the Connection Wizard by tapping on the “New Connection” button, and when the Bluetooth Wizard starts select the “Custom Mode” option before continuing.Intel® Graphics and Media Control PanelUsing the Intel® Graphics and Media Control Panel, you can en-able multi-monitor support, adjust color and brightness settings of your display(s), monitor resolution, color depth, rotation and more.To launch the control panel, press and hold on an empty part of your desktop and then tap on “Graphics Properties...” from the pop-up menu that appears.
