Double-clicking/Double-tapping - This is a common skill for launching a program directly from the corresponding
icon you select. Move the cursor over the icon you wish to execute, press the left button or tap the pad twice in rapid
succession, and the system launches the corresponding program. If the interval between the clicks or taps is too long, the
operation will not be executed. You can set the double-click speed using the Windows Control Panel “Mouse.”
Dragging - Dragging means to pick up an item and place it anywhere on the screen you wish. You can move the cursor
over the item you select, and while keeping the left button depressed, moving the cursor to the desired location, then
release the button. Or, you can simply double-tap on the item and hold while dragging the item with your fingertip.
Caring for the Touchpad
The Touchpad is a pressure sensitive device. If not properly cared for, it can be easily damaged. Take note of the
following precautions.
• Make sure the Touchpad does not come into contact with dirt, liquids or grease.
• Do not touch the Touchpad if your fingers are dirty or wet.
• Do not rest heavy objects on the Touchpad or the Touchpad buttons.
NOTE! The Touchpad responds to movement not force. Do not tap the surface too hard. Tapping too hard does not
increase the responsiveness of the Touchpad. The Touchpad responds best to light pressure.
