Adjust the touchpad settings by selecting Settings/Control Panel/Mouse/Buttons. These settings allow you to change
the orientation of the touchpad from right-handed to left-handed, and fine-tune the pointer movement and timing of
clicks.
Touchpad Precautions
The Touchpad is a pressure-sensitive device. If not properly cared for, it can be easily damaged. Please take note of
the following precautions.
• Do not rest heavy objects on the touchpad or the touchpad buttons.
General Guidelines
The mobile computer uses a Liquid Crystal Display (LCD), which is the type of screen used on many notebook and
sub-notebook computers. One problem experienced on computers with an LCD display, especially in cold environ-
ments, is that the cursor seems to “disappear” whenever the mouse is moved quickly. To improve the visibility of the
mouse cursor, you should:
• Enable the “Pointer Trails” feature to add trailing cursors.
• Use a slow or medium speed/sensitivity level.
You can combine a higher level of acceleration with a slow or medium speed/sensitivity level. This will allow you to
move the mouse cursor quickly by increasing your finger pressure, while still providing a finer degree of control
when you apply minimum pressure.
Note To change the speed of the mouse, from the Start Menu select Settings, Control Panel, and then choose Mouse
to make adjustments.
