Touch screen instructions
This chapter contains the following topics:
Touch Screen Calibration
User Gesture Instructions for the Touch screen
Attentions when using the Touch Screen
Attention: Only selected models are equipped with a touch screen.
User Guide
17
The monitor is touch-sensitive thanks to its touch-sensitive screen. A touch screen is an input device just like a mouse or a keyboard, and the user’s fingers transmit position information via the touch screen to the computer. With this technology, you only need to touch the pictures or words on the computer display lightly with your finger, and the computer will react.
Touch Screen Calibration
Prior to first use or whenever the touch screen reacts in a different place where you are touching it, start the calibration program. The procedure is as follows:
1. In Control Panel, select “Hardware and Sound”.
2. In “Hardware and Sound” window, select “Tablet PC Settings”.
3. In “Tablet PC Settings” dialogue, click “Calibrate” button.
4. To finish the calibration, use your finger or a 9 mm diameter touch pen to touch each of the calibration points shown in sequence.
User Gesture Instructions for the Touch screen
The Touch screen supports single touch and rotational movements, enlargement and reduction multi-touch operations, and the user can transmit position information to the computer via touch. The touch screen uses a very low pressure movement recognition method, which only needs the finger to move lightly on the computer display screen or make a simple hand gesture to be detected by the main computer processor.
Note: Do not touch the screen with any hard objects, such as fingernails.
18
User Guide
Basic Hand Gestures
1. Single Click / Double Click
For the item selected on the touch screen, with one finger touch it one or two times, to perform a single click or double click operation. This is similar to the action performed by clicking the mouse left button.
2. Single Finger Right Click
For the item selected on the touch screen, press and hold your finger on the screen until a circle appears. After lifting your finger from the touch screen, a menu bar will pop up, completing the single finger right click operation. This is similar to the action performed by clicking the mouse right button.
User Guide
19
3. Dragging Movement
First touch your finger on the desired item on the screen and hold it there, then make a dragging movement. This is similar to the click and drag movement you can make with a mouse.
4. Rolling Movement
When you move your finger one time vertically (or horizontally) on the touch screen, this is called a Rolling Operation. For example: This operation is similar to moving the scroll wheel on the top of a mouse, and produces the same results as the scroll wheel interface does.
20
User Guide
5. Zoom Operation
Touch two fingers lightly on the desired item on the touch screen, then keeping both fingers on the screen, change the distance between them. By increasing
(or decreasing) the distance, you can perform a zoom in (or zoom out) operation. For example: you can enlarge or reduce the picture size in Windows
Photo Viewer.
6. Rotation Operation
Use two figures to touch the desired item on the touch screen, then rotate them in the desired direction. For example: you can rotate the picture which is being displayed in Windows Photo Viewer.
Note: To learn more about how to use the touch screen, refer to Windows

Precautions when using the Touch Screen
1. When using the touch screen, be careful not to tear the surface with any sharp objects.
2. To ensure normal use of the touch screen, ensure that both the screen surface and your fingers are clean and dry.
3. To ensure precise positioning on the touch screen, avoid handling or touching the glass frame when you are touching the screen.
4. Turn the computer off for safety before cleaning the screen and frame with a soft cotton cloth. Do not wipe it with a wet cloth as this may leave a water mark and affect touch operation.
5. Do not place or drop anything which could obstruct it in the four corners of the screen or any part of its frame, because this could separate the screen from the frame and stop the screen from being able to sense position properly.
Please avoid leaving water and dust in the gap between the casing and glass when you are cleaning the frame.
6. Avoid using the touch screen in dusty environments or hot or humid conditions.
Any abrupt temperature change may cause condensation on the inside surface of the glass screen, which will disappear after a short time and does not affect normal use.
7. Do not spray any liquid or cleaner directly onto the touch screen.
8. Do not use a solvent or industrial alcohol-based cleaners.

Troubleshooting Problems with Optical
Drives and Hard Disks
Problem: The Optical drive is unable to read a CD/DVD.
Troubleshooting and problem resolution:
1. Check to determine if there is an optical drive icon in the resource manager of the operating system. If not, restart your computer. If there is still no icon, contact Lenovo Service. Otherwise, continue with the next step of this procedure.
2. Confirm that the CD/DVD has been properly placed in the drive. If not, reload the CD or DVD. Otherwise, continue with the next step of this procedure.
3. Check the specifications that came with your computer to confirm that this optical drive is capable of reading this type of CD or DVD.
4. If the CD/DVD cannot be read, replace it with a known good CD/DVD such as one that was shipped with the computer.
5. If the known good CD cannot be read, visually check the operating side of the
CD/DVD for defects.
Problem: The capacity of the hard disk, as indicated by the system, is less than the nominal capacity.
Troubleshooting and problem resolution: For computers equipped with the
OneKey Recovery feature, the system recovery feature needs to occupy some hard disk space. This may account for the apparent hard disk capacity deficit.
Further Technical Explanation:
The nominal capacity of the hard disk is expressed in the decimal system as 1000 bytes. But the actual hard disk capacity is expressed in the binary system as 1024 bytes (For example, the nominal capacity 1G is 1000M, while the actual capacity 1G is 1024M).
The capacity of the hard disk shown in Windows can be calculated according to the calculations in the following example:
The nominal capacity of the hard disk is 40G, while its actual capacity should be: 40 x 1000 x 1000 x 1000/(1024 x 1024 x 1024) = 37G.
If the Service partition of 3G - 3 x 1000 x 1000 x 1000/(1024 x 1024 x 1024) =
2.79G is subtracted, the capacity of the hard disk shown in the system can be obtained.
User Guide
35
The capacity of the hard disk as calculated using this method may be slightly different from the actual capacity due to the rounding of totals.

Handling static-sensitive devices
Static electricity, although harmless to you, can seriously damage computer components.
When you are replacing a part, do not open the anti-static package containing the new part until the defective part has been removed from the computer and you are ready to install the new part.
When you handle parts and other computer components, take these precautions to avoid static electricity damage:
• Limit your movement. Movement can cause static electricity to build up around you.
• Always handle parts and other computer components carefully. Handle adapters, memory modules, system boards, and microprocessors by the edges. Never touch any exposed circuitry.
• Prevent others from touching the parts and other computer components.
• Before you replace a new part, touch the anti-static package containing the part to a metal expansion slot cover or other unpainted metal surface on the computer for at least two seconds. This reduces static electricity in the package and your body.
• When possible, remove the new part from the anti-static packaging, and install it directly in the computer without setting the part down. When this is not possible, place the anti-static package that the part came in on a smooth, level surface and place the part on it.
• Do not place the part on the computer cover or other metal surface.
