Operating Basics

The two buttons below the Touch Pad are used like the buttons on a

standard mouse - press the left button to select a menu item or to

manipulate text or graphics designated by the pointer, and press the right

button to display a menu or other function depending on the software you

are using.

Using the AccuPoint

To use the AccuPoint, simply push it with your finger tip in the direction you

want to move the on-screen pointer. Two buttons above the Touch Pad

work in the same way with the AccuPoint as they do with the Touch Pad.

Refer to the

Using the Touch Pad

section for details.

Some models are equipped with an AccuPoint.

AccuPoint precautions

Certain conditions can affect the on-screen pointer when using AccuPoint.

For example, the pointer may travel contrary to AccuPoint operation or an

error message may appear, if

You touch the AccuPoint during power-up.

You apply constant, soft pressure during power-up.

There is a sudden temperature change.

Strong stress is applied to the AccuPoint.

If an error message appears, reboot the computer. If an error message

does not appear, wait a moment for the pointer to stop, then continue

operation.

You can also tap the Touch Pad to perform functions similar to those of the

left button on a standard mouse.
Click: Tap once
Double-click: Tap twice
Drag and drop: Tap to select the item(s) you want to move, leave your

finger on the Touch Pad after the second tap and then move the item(s) to

their new destination.
