Calibrate the device
Calibrating the device screen involves tapping the center of a cross with the
stylus as the cross moves around the screen. This process ensures that when
you tap the screen with your stylus, the tapped item is activated.
If your device does not accurately respond to screen taps, follow these steps
to re-calibrate it:
1. Tap Start > Settings > System tab > Screen.
2. On the General tab, tap Align Screen, then follow the on-screen
instructions to complete the calibration.

Portrait mode allows you to get a better view or a better operation of

lengthy files.

Screen, and select the orientation you want.
• To smooth the edges of screen fonts for many programs, on the
ClearType tab, select the Enable ClearType check box.
