About the Flat Point
The Flat Point is a handy pointing device that enables you to move the mouse pointer freely with your
finger. It consists of a touch-pad, two buttons on this side of the touch-pad, and the CoolScroll between
the buttons.
The touch-pad has the same function as the ball in a mouse. You can move the mouse pointer in any
directions on the screen by sliding the tip of a finger on the touch-pad. Moreover, if you tap the touch-
pad with a finger, you can click, double-click, point to, or drag any object on the screen.
The buttons on both sides of the
CoolScroll button correspond to the left and right buttons of a
mouse, and their functions vary from application to application.
Pressing the CoolScroll button forward or backward enables you to easily scroll a window up or
down. By pressing the center of the CoolScroll button, you can also start applications or operate
Internet Explorer.
Critical Point
The Flat Point may malfunction if condensation occurs or if it is moistened. In addition, if you
operate it with a moistened or sweaty finger, or if the Flat Point surface is dirty, the mouse
pointer may not move correctly. In such a case, turn off your computer and wipe dirt off with
a soft cloth slightly dampened with dilute detergent.
Some applications do not allow you to use the CoolScroll button to scroll windows.
You can use an optionally available mouse instead of the Flat Point.
