4. Using the Notebook PC
Caring for the Touchpad
The touchpad is a pressure sensitive device. If not properly cared for, it can be easily damaged. Take
note of the following precautions.
• Make sure the touchpad does not come into contact with dirt, liquids or grease.
• Do not touch the touchpad if your fingers are dirty or wet.
• Do not rest heavy objects on the touchpad or the touchpad buttons.
• Do not scratch the touchpad with your finger nails or any hard objects.
NOTE: The touchpad responds to movement not force. Do not tap the surface too
hard. Tapping too hard does not increase the responsiveness of the touchpad. The
touchpad responds best to light pressure.
PS/2 Connection (optional)
Either a PS/2 mouse or PS/2 keyboard may be connected to the single PS/2 port. If you wish to connect
two PS/2 devices, you need to buy an optional PS/2 Y-adapter as shown in this illustration.
TIP: Since USB provides easy daisy chaining of many devices, it is recommended
that either the external keyboard and/or the external mouse be of the USB type for
quicker and more convenient connection.
