Touchpad Basics
The following teaches you how to use the touchpad:
T
Move your finger across the touchpad (2) to move the cursor.
T
Press the left (1) and right (4) buttons located beneath the touchpad to perform selection and
execution functions. These two buttons are similar to the left and right buttons on a mouse.
Tapping on the touchpad is the same as clicking the left button.
T
Use the 4-way scroll (3) buton to mimic your cursor pressing on the right scroll bar of Windows
applications.
NOTE: When using the touchpad, keep it - and your fingers - dry and clean. The touchpad is sensitive to finger
movements; hence, the lighter the touch, the better the response. Tapping too hard will not increase the
touchpad’s responsiveness.
