NEC VersaGlide
The NEC VersaGlide is a built-in mechanism that functions as the system’s mouse. It con-
trols the on-screen pointer (cursor). To use the VersaGlide, move your finger across the
NEC VersaGlide pad, and the cursor follows. The buttons below the NEC VersaGlide al-
low the user to select or deselect menu items. Tap and double-tap are supported on the
VersaGlide pad.
The PS/2 Microsoft mouse is the system’s default pointing device until the user selects the
NEC Setup icon. When the user selects the NEC Setup icon, the NEC VersaGlide is in-
stalled as the system’s pointing device. If an external mouse is installed, then the NEC Ver-
saGlide is deactivated. A serial mouse is not supported.
