If you are not familiar with the TrackPoint pointing device, these instructions will help you get started:

1. Place your hands in the typing position, and press gently with an index finger or a middle finger on the

pointing stick in the direction in which you want the pointer to move.

To move the pointer, press the pointing stick away from you to move it up, toward you to move it
down, to one side or the other to move it sideways.

Note: The pointer might drift. This is not a defect. Stop using the TrackPoint pointing device for a few
seconds; the pointer will stop moving.

2. To select and drag as required by your software, press the left or right click button with either thumb

and move the TrackPoint pointing stick.
