Functions of Your Computer
The TrackPoint consists of a stick on the keyboard and three click
buttons below the keyboard. Movement of the cursor on the screen
is controlled by the amount of pressure that you apply to the nonslip
cap on the stick in any direction parallel to the keyboard; the stick
itself does
not move. The speed at which the cursor moves
corresponds to the pressure you apply to the stick. The functions of
the left and right click buttons correspond to those of the left and
right mouse buttons on a traditional mouse; these functions depend
on the software you are using. The function of the center button is
described on page 47.

If you are not familiar with using the TrackPoint, these instructions
will help you get started:
1
Place your hands in the typing position and press gently
with either index finger on the stick in the direction you
want the cursor to move.
Pressing the stick away from you moves the cursor up the
screen; pressing it toward you moves the cursor down the
screen. You can also move the cursor side to side by pressing
sideways.
The cursor might drift. This is not a defect. Do not use the
TrackPoint until the cursor stops moving.
