Using the Pointing Stick

The EasyPoint IV pointing stick performs the same basic
operation as a mouse but does not move; it senses finger
movement and pressure. It provides point-and-click (three-
dimensional) functions as well as standard (two-dimensional)
pointing stick features. You can easily modify the EasyPoint IV
settings for the way you work. EasyPoint IV is compatible with
Microsoft Windows 3.1, Windows 95, Windows 98, and Windows
NT 4.0 operating systems.

Using Two-Dimensional Features

In the two-dimensional setting, the pointing stick and the left and
right buttons on the wrist rest are used together to function as a
standard two button mouse. The pointing stick moves the cursor.
The buttons provide primary and secondary click functions.

1. Place your index finger on top of the pointing stick 1.

2. Press in the direction you want the cursor to move on the

screen.

3. Click the left mouse button 2 or right mouse button 3 with

your thumb.
