Operating Basics

This chapter gives information on basic operations including using the

touchpad, optical disc drive, Audio/Video controls, the web camera, the

microphone, wireless communication and LAN. It also provides tips on

caring for your computer, diskettes and CD/DVD.

Using The Touchpad

To use the touchpad, simply touch and move your finger tip across it in the

direction you want the on-screen pointer to go.
Two buttons below the touchpad are used like the buttons on a mouse

pointer.
Press the left button to select a menu item or to manipulate text or graphics

designated by the pointer. Press the right button to display a menu or other

function depending on the software you are using.

You can also tap the touchpad to perform functions similar to those of the

left button on a standard mouse.
Click: Tap the touchpad once.
Double-click: Tap twice.
Drag and drop: Tap to select the material you want to move. Leave your

finger on the touchpad after the second tap and move the material.
