Touchpad

The built-in touchpad is a pointing device that senses movement on its surface. 
This means the cursor responds as you move your finger across the surface of 
the touchpad. The central location on the palmrest provides optimum comfort 
and support.

Touchpad basics (with fingerprint reader)

The following items show you how to use the touchpad with Acer Bio-
Protection fingerprint reader.

Move your finger across the touchpad (2) to move the cursor.

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.

Use Acer Bio-Protection fingerprint reader (3) supporting Acer FingerNav 
4-way control function (only for certain models) to scroll up or down and 
move left or right a page. This fingerprint reader or button mimics your 
cursor pressing on the right scroll bar of Windows applications.
