3.2 The Touchpad

The touchpad is very simple to use. It represents the mouse pointer

on screen. Simply use your finger and slide it in the direction you

want the pointer to move. The touchpad reads only 1 finger at a

time. Do not use anything other than your finger on the touchpad.

Touchpad Buttons

The touchpad has two buttons, these serve as the Left and Right

side mouse buttons like those on a standard mouse. The Left button

is used to select and manipulate icons, graphics, text and other

items. The Right button is used to display a Context Options menu

for the unit’s operating system and/or programs.

In the center of the two buttons you will notice a Fingerprint Reader.

We will now briefly discuss the use of the fingerprint reader.

3.3 The Fingerprint Reader

The M1405 features a fingerprint reader. It includes a Security

Tool to use to store your fingerprints and use the tool for quick

authentication and also remove the need for typed passwords. The

Fingerprint reader allows you to:

Swipe your finger instead of typing passwords: Can be used for

websites Applications, Windows Passwords.

Allows the user to protect files and folders and access to them

requiring the fingerprint to decrypt and allow access.

Log into Windows, Unlock Windows and disable password based

items such as Screen Saver or Sleep/Hibernation.

Method to Swipe Your Finger(s)

Use the below steps to correctly swipe your finger and record the

needed fingerprint information into the system. This will help you

to ensure that you do not struggle setting up the security feature.

Launch the security tool to start the process and follow all on screen

prompts carefully.

Line up the finger central to the reader and at the start of the

fingerprint (Not the tip of your finger, but near the first joint) and then

place this section onto the reader and draw the finger back towards

you, not too fast, so that the scanner can read the print. You will

be notified if it is a good scan or a bad scan, and it will store once

successful. It is recommended to store more than one fingerprint

as a precaution; 2 to 3 Prints will be ideal. As you will see in the

illustration below, it will show the ideal way to scan.
