General Guidelines

The mobile computer uses a Liquid Crystal Display (LCD), which is the

type of screen used on many notebook and sub-notebook computers.

One problem experienced on computers with an LCD display, especially

in cold environments, is that the cursor seems to “disappear” whenever

the mouse is moved quickly. To improve the visibility of the mouse

cursor, you should:

Use a slow or medium speed/sensitivity level.

You can combine a higher level of acceleration with a slow or medium

speed/sensitivity level. This will allow you to move the mouse cursor

quickly by increasing your finger pressure, while still providing a finer

degree of control when you apply minimum pressure.

Changing the Speed of the Mouse

To change the speed of the mouse, from the Start Menu select Settings,

Control Panel, and then choose Mouse to make adjustments.
