TouchPad Basics
The following items show you how to use the TouchPad:
•
Move your finger across the TouchPad (1) to move the cursor.
•
Press the left (2) and right (3) 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.
NOTE: When using the TouchPad, keep it - and your fingers - dry and clean. The TouchPad is sensitive to
finger movement; hence, the lighter the touch, the better the response. Tapping too hard will not
increase the TouchPad’s responsiveness.
