Using the Touchpad

CAUTION:

Do not use a sharp object such as a pen on the touchpad. Doing so may damage the touchpad
surface as well as the RUBBER part of the touchpad.

NOTE:

1. By default, the touchpad is enabled. Use the Fn+F2 hot key to enable/disable this function.

The touchpad indicator found on the keyboard panel glows red when it is disabled.

2. For optimal performance of the touchpad, keep your fingers and the pads clean and dry.

When tapping on the pad, tap lightly. Do not use excessive force.

The touchpad is a pointing device that allows you to communicate with the computer by
controlling the location of the pointer on the screen and making selections with the
buttons.

The touchpad consists of a rectangular pad and four buttons. To use the touchpad,
place your forefinger or thumb on the pad. The rectangular pad acts like a miniature
duplicate of your display. As you slide your fingertip across the pad, the cursor on the
screen moves accordingly. When your finger reaches the edge of the pad, simply lift
your finger and place it on the other side of the touchpad.
Here are some common terms that you should know when using the touchpad:
