Using the TouchPad
Turning the TouchPad on and off
The TouchPad is turned on at the factory. When the TouchPad zone is active, the light is off. To turn
the TouchPad on and off, quickly double-tap the TouchPad off indicator.
To move the pointer, slide your finger across the TouchPad surface in the direction you want the pointer
to go. Use the left and right TouchPad buttons like the corresponding buttons on an external mouse. To
scroll up and down using the TouchPad scroll zone, slide your finger vertically along the right edge of
the TouchPad.
NOTE:
If you are using the TouchPad to move the pointer, you must lift your finger off the TouchPad
before moving it to the scroll zone. Simply sliding your finger from the TouchPad to the scroll zone will
not activate the scrolling function.
