Pointing Device
The Notebook PC’s integrated touchpad pointing device is
fully compatible with all two/three-button and scrolling
knob PS/2 mice. The touchpad is electrostatic sensitive and
contains no moving parts; therefore, mechanical failures
can be avoided. A device driver is still required for working
with some application software.
IMPORTANT! Do not use any objects in place of
your finger to operate the touchpad or else
damage may occur to the touchpad’s surface.
Using the Touchpad
Light pressure with the tip of your finger is all that is
required to operate the touchpad. Because the touchpad is
electrostatic sensitive, objects cannot be used in place of
your fingers. The touchpad’s primary function is to move
the cursor around or select items displayed on the screen
with the use of your fingertip instead of a standard desktop
mouse. The following illustrations demonstrate proper use
of the touchpad.
Moving The Cursor
Place your finger in the center of the touchpad and slide in
a direction to move the cursor.
