Getting Started
Touchpad
The touchpad is a pressure sensitive pointing device that provides all the features of a
two-button mouse. Its primary function is to move the cursor around the screen.
The instructions listed below describe how to use the touchpad.
1. First, place your fingers on the keyboard in the normal typing position. The
touchpad is easily accessible by moving either your left or right thumb off the
space bar and on to the touchpad.
2. Gently move your thumb across the pressure-sensitive touchpad in the direction
you want the cursor to move. The pad detects the change in pressure and moves
the cursor in the corresponding direction.
3. The touchpad offers another method of making selections in a software
program. It is called double-tapping . This function corresponds to double-
clicking with a mouse. Once the cursor has been moved to the object you want
to select,
lightly double-tap the pressure sensitive touchpad. This double-
tapping on the touchpad will select the desired item and prompt the software to
perform the related operation.
4. The buttons located directly below the touchpad are the same in function as those
on a two-buttoned mouse. Clicking these buttons makes selections, drags objects,
or performs a variety of other functions depending on the software. To select an
object, first move the pointer over the object you want to select, and then press the
left button one time. The functions of these buttons are software specific.
5. Double-clicking is a common technique for selecting objects or launching
programs from icons. Once you have moved the pointer over the object you
wish to select, rapidly press the left button two times. This action is commonly
referred to as “double-clicking” an object.
Dragging
There are two ways to drag:
•
Move the pointer to the desired location then press down the left button. While
still holding down the left button, move the pointer to the desired location.
Release the button.
