Left-hand mode

Montblanc Digital Paper supports left-handed users who prefer to rotate the device for more comfortable writing. The device allows for 180-degree screen rotation, ensuring the orientation suits your dominant hand.

Using left-hand mode

To set up your device for left-hand use:

  1. Access the Control center
    • Swipe down from the top of the home screen where the status bar is located.
    • The Control Center provides quick access to key features, including screen rotation.
  2. Rotate the screen
    • Look for the screen rotation icon (an arrow with a lock in the middle).
    • If rotation is currently locked, tap the icon to unlock it.
    • Turn your device 180 degrees to orient it for left-handed use.
  3. Lock the orientation
    • After rotating, tap the rotation icon again to lock the new orientation.
    • This ensures that your preferred setup is saved and will remain consistent for future use.
Note: Remember to lock the screen orientation after rotating. If the orientation is not locked, the device may revert to its default position with usage and movement.
