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: Illustrations for reference only. The exact configuration of your PC depends on the model purchased.
NOTE: When using the touchpad, keep it — and your fingers — dry and clean. The touchpad is sensitive to

NOTE: By default, vertical and horizontal scrolling is enabled on your touchpad. It can be disabled under
Mouse settings in Windows Control Panel.
