Navigating Using Gestures

The touchpad allows you to use gestures to zoom in or out on a page or scroll quickly through large
documents.

Zooming In:
To zoom in on a page using the touchpad, simply place two fingers together on the touchpad and move
them away from each other. (See Figure 17)

Zooming Out:
To zoom out on a page using the touchpad, place two fingers on the touchpad and move towards each
other. (See Figure 18)

Continuous Scroll:
To scroll through a large document using gestures (“ChiralMotion”), hold your finger on the right side
touchpad for a couple of seconds until a circular icon appears, then move your finger in a clockwise
circular motion to scroll down, or counter-clockwise to scroll up. To scroll side to side, hold your finger
on the botttom edge of the touchpad for a couple of seconds until a circular icon appears, then move your
finger clockwise to scroll right, and counter-clockwise to scroll left. (See Figure 19)

Momentum:
To increase the cursor movement speed, slide your finger quickly across the touchpad. (See Figure 20)
