TouchPad Pointing Device
The TouchPad pointing device may come built into your
Fujitsu LifeBook. It is used to control the movement of
the pointer to select items on your display panel. The
TouchPad is composed of a cursor control and a left and
right button. The cursor control works the same way a
mouse does, and moves the cursor around the display. It
only requires light pressure with the tip of your finger,
and the more pressure you use, the faster the cursor will
move. The left and right buttons function the same as
mouse buttons. The actual functionality of the buttons
may vary depending on the application that is being
used. (Figure 2-16)
CLICKING
Clicking means pushing and releasing a button.
To left-click, move the cursor to the item you wish
to select, press the left button once, and then immedi-
ately release it. To right-click, move the mouse cursor to
the item you wish to select, press the right button once,
and then immediately release it. You also have the option
to perform the clicking operation by tapping lightly on
the TouchPad once. (Figure 2-17)

DOUBLE-CLICKING
Double-clicking means pushing and releasing the left
button twice in rapid succession. This procedure does
not function with the right button. To double-click,
move the cursor to the item you wish to select, press
the left button twice, and then immediately release it.
You also have the option to perform the double-click
operation by tapping lightly on the TouchPad twice.

An external mouse can be connected to either the
USB or PS/2 port on your LifeBook, and used simulta-
neously with the TouchPad. However, if you boot the
system with an external mouse connected the Touch-
Pad will be disabled or enabled depending on the speci-
fications in your BIOS settings. Also, if the Infrared
Mouse is enabled, your PS/2 external device will be
disabled.
(See BIOS Setup Utility on page 35 for more
