Using the Notebook PC
Pointing Device
The Notebook PC’s integrated touchpad
pointing device is fully compatible with all
two/three-button and scrolling knob PS/2
mice. The touchpad is pressure sensitive
and contains no moving parts; therefore,
mechanical failures can be avoided. A de-
vice driver is still required for working with
some application software.
Using the Touchpad
Light pressure with the tip of your finger is all that is required to operate the touchpad. Because the
touchpad is electrostatic sensitive, objects cannot be used in place of your fingers. The touchpad’s
primary function is to move the cursor around or select items displayed on the screen with the use of
your fingertip. The following illustrations demonstrate proper use of the touchpad.
Moving the cursor - Place your finger in the center of the touchpad and do the following to move the cursor:
Up - Slide your finger forward Left - Slide you finger to the left
Down - Slide your finger backward Right - Slide your finger to the right
