Touch Pad
Do not tap the touch pad with any sharp objects such as ballpoint pens. Failure to follow this instruction
may cause the surface of the touch panel to be damaged.
To maintain the optimum performance of the touch pad, keep your fingers and the pad clean and dry.
Finger contact with the pad should be made lightly without excess force.
The touch pad is an input device used as an alternative to a mouse to communicate with
ShieldPRO. The touch pad is composed of a rectangle pad and two buttons. Moving a finger on the
pad moves the pointer on the screen. If you reach the end of the pad, remove your finger and put it
at the opposite end to continue on the same line.
The table below describes general terms with which you should be familiar on the touch pad.

off-screen.

applications may disable the feature.

for pressing the left button.
