(arrow) on the screen moves in the same direction. You can
use the scroll zone to scroll through documents. Use of the
scroll zone may vary from program to program.
You can use the EZ-Pad left and right buttons below the
touchpad to select objects.
Tip
You can attach a mouse to the notebook or optional port replicator using
a USB port. You do not need to shut down the notebook to connect a USB
mouse.

in your online
User Guide .
