# How to Use the Pen
<Digitizer Stylus supplied models>

Using the supplied pen (Digitizer Stylus), you can operate your VAIO computer intuitively, by touching the screen softly or tracing something on the screen.

## To move the pointer on the screen

Hold the pen over the screen without touching it, then move the pen in the desired direction.

## To click (tap)

Tap the desired point on the screen with the pen.
This is used to select an option, such as OK or Cancel, to select a menu item, or other operations.

## To double-click (double-tap)

Tap the desired point on the screen twice in quick succession with the pen.
You can start an app, such as a word processor or a spreadsheet program, or open a file by double-tapping its icon.

## To right-click (press and hold down)

Press and hold down the lower button of the pen, then tap at the desired point once. Drop-down menus appear, depending on where you tapped the screen.
You can also do the same operation by holding the pen at the desired point for a few seconds.

## To drag

Gently place the pen on the item to be moved, then trace on the screen to move it.

## To erase text

Depending on the app, you can erase text.
Press and hold down the upper button of the pen, gently place the pen on the first text item to be erased, then trace the pen over the text to the last text item to be erased.
Note

- Use the supplied pen or an optionally specified pen.

- This pen does not have a power supply switch. Insert the necessary battery in the pen to operate.

- You can use the pen with your hand resting on the screen. If you move the pen towards the touch screen, you cannot control the touch screen with fingers.

- Depending on the screen, you cannot use the pen to scroll the screen.

- If the pen does not function correctly, replace the battery. [Details]

- Replace the pen’s nib if the writing is not smooth, or you wish to try another shape nib. [Details]

- To prevent them from being swallowed, keep the pen’s nib and cap out of children’s reach.

Hint

- Some apps sense the pressure of the pen and will change the thickness of the line accordingly.

- Push the button of the pen near the screen to start an app. （Active Clip [Details]）
