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
The following items will show you how to use the touchpad.
•
Move your finger across the touchpad
(2)
to move the cursor.
•
Press the left
(1)
and right
(4)
buttons 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 the 4-way scroll
(3)
button to scroll up or down and move left or right a page. This button mimics the
cursor pressing on the right scroll bar of Windows applications.
Note:
Keep your fingers, as well as the surface of the touchpad dry and clean. The touchpad is sensitive to
your finger movement; hence, the lighter the touch, the better the response. Tapping hard will not increase the
touchpad’s responsiveness.
Note:
By default, vertical and horizontal scrolling is enabled on your touch pad. It can be disabled under
Mouse settings in Windows Control Panel.
