Getting to Know Your MacBook

Using the Trackpad

How far the pointer moves onscreen is based on how quickly you move your finger

across the trackpad. To move the pointer a short distance, move your finger slowly

across the trackpad; the faster you move your finger, the farther the pointer moves

onscreen. You can also adjust the tracking speed in the Keyboard & Mouse pane of

System Preferences.

You can scroll vertically or horizontally in a window that has scroll bars, by moving two

fingers on the trackpad. You can turn this option on or off in the Keyboard & Mouse

pane of System Preferences.

Tips for Using the Trackpad

For best results when using the trackpad:
 Use only one finger, except when the scrolling feature is turned on and you want

to scroll.

 Do not use a pen or any other object.

 Keep your finger and the trackpad dry. If the trackpad becomes moist from

humidity or condensation, gently wipe it with a clean cloth before you use it.

 Never use any kind of cleaning solution on the trackpad.

For more information about using the trackpad, choose Help > Mac Help from the

menu bar at the top of the screen.
