Calibration Procedure
The calibration program looks at where your finger is when you lift it
off the screen, not where you touch it. Therefore, calibrate the screen as
follows:
1. Touch the screen near the calibration target.
2. Keep your finger on the screen and slide it to the center of the
target.
3. Hold your finger firmly on the target for two seconds, then lift it off
quickly.
