User’s Manual 4-2
Operating Basics
Two buttons below the keyboard are used like the buttons on a mouse
pointer. Press the left button to select a menu item or to manipulate text or
graphics designated by the pointer. Press the right button to display a menu
or other function depending on the software you are using.
For some functions, you can tap the Touch Pad instead of pressing a
control button.
Touch Pad Gesture
There are four convenient gestures that make users operate the system
easier and faster.
ChiralMotion
You can scroll vertically and horizontally. To enable these features, select
the Enable vertical scrolling and Enable horizontal scrolling check
boxes.
Click on the window or item you wish to scroll and slide your finger upwards
or downwards along the right edge of the Touch Pad to scroll vertically.
Slide your finger to the left or right along the lower edge of the Touch Pad to
scroll horizontally.
If scrolling does not respond, ensure that the appropriate check box is
selected and that the window or item on which you have clicked is
scrollable. If you still have problems, check your Scrolling Region settings.
Pinch Zoom (Pinch)
The Pinch Zoom gesture delivers zooming functionality in many
applications. You can use the Pinch Zoom gesture to perform the same
functions that a scroll wheel performs on standard Windows applications
that support CTRL-SCROLL WHEEL zoom functionality.
To enable this feature, select the Enable Pinch Zoom check box.
Do not press on the Touch Pad too hard or press a sharp object such as a
ball point pen against the Touch Pad. The Touch Pad could be damaged.
