The following table and diagrams provide some tips that you should know
when using the touchpad:
Positioning and Moving: Place your finger on the touchpad (usually using the
forefinger), and the rectangular pad will act as a miniature duplicate of your
display. When you move your fingertip across the pad, the cursor on the
screen will move simultaneously in the same direction. When your finger
reaches the edge of the pad, lift your finger and replace it on a proper location
of the touchpad.
Scrolling Right/Left and Up/Down: When your are in a document, the
touchpad’s scrolling function allows you to scroll the document without moving
the pointer away from your work. By simply sliding your finger up/down at the
right edge of the touchpad, the contents of the current document will scroll
vertically; when sliding your finger right/left at the bottom edge of the touchpad,
the contents of the current document will scroll horizontally. That is, you can
scroll no matter where the pointer happens to be.
Point and Click: When you have moved and placed the cursor over an icon, a
menu item or a command that you want to execute, simply tap slightly on the
touchpad or press the left button to select. This procedure, called as “point
and click”, is the basics of operating your Notebook PC. Unlike the traditional
pointing device such as the mouse, the whole touchpad can act as a left
button, so that your each tap on the touchpad is equivalent to pressing the left
button. Tapping twice more rapidly on the touchpad is to execute a “double-
click”.
Drag and Drop: You can move files or objects in your computer by using
“drag-and-drop”. To do so, place the cursor on the desired item and slightly
tap twice on the touchpad, and then keep your fingertip in contact with the
touchpad on the second tap. Now, you can drag the selected item to the
desired location by moving your finger on the touchpad, and then lift your
finger from the touchpad to drop the item into place. Alternately, you can
press and hold the left button when you select a item, and then move your
finger to the desired location; finally, release the left button to finish the drag-
and-drop operation.
