Action

Drag and

drop

Press and hold the left button. Then, move the object by dragging your
finger until you reach the new location (drag). Finally, release the left button
(drop) when you have finished dragging your selection to the destination.
The item will drop into the new location.
–or–
Gently tap twice on the pad and on the second tap, keep your finger in
contact with the pad. Then, move your finger across the pad to drag the
selected object to the desired location. When you lift your finger from the
pad, the selected object will drop into place.

Scroll

To scroll is to move up and down or left and right in the working area on the
screen.
The scroll button, located between the two side buttons under the
touchpad, can be used to move vertically in a convenient way. Press the
upper part of the scroll button to move up and the lower part of the scroll
button to move down.
–or–
To move vertically, place your finger on the right edge of the pad and slide
your finger up and down along the edge. To move horizontally, place your
finger on the bottom edge of the pad and slide your finger left and right.
This function works only after you install the touchpad driver supplied with
the computer and it may not work for all applications.

NOTE:

If you swap the left and right buttons, “tapping” on the touchpad as an alternative method of
pressing the left button will no longer be valid.

Configuring the Touchpad

You may want to configure the touchpad to suit your needs. For example, if you are a
left-handed user, you can swap the two buttons so that you can use the right button as
the left button and vice versa. You can also change the size of the on-screen cursor, the
speed of the cursor, and so on.

NOTE:

1. The touchpad is pressure sensitive.
2. The presence of a foreign object on the touchpad may cause the cursor to move erratically.
3. Use an optical cleaning kit such as a brush to remove any foreign objects.
