Using the Glide Pad
Your computer is equipped with an integrated pointing device called a glide
pad. Using the glide pad, you can move the pointer, select an item from a
menu, and perform other tasks in the same way you would with a mouse.
•
Do not hit or scratch the surface of the glide pad with pointed objects
(such as a ballpoint pen).
•
Do not operate the glide pad with a moist finger. This may cause the
glide pad to operate incorrectly.
Using the Glide Pad
Take a moment to become familiar with how the glide pad works.
Place Your Fingertip
Place your left or right hand next to the glide pad, resting your wrist naturally in a
relaxed manner. Place your thumb or finger on the glide pad.
Move Your Fingertip
The rectangular pad of the glide pad acts like a miniature duplicate of the display.
As you slide your fingertip across the pad, the pointer on the screen moves in the
same direction across the screen. The glide pad is very sensitive, so you do not
have to exert much pressure on the pad. The glide pad will respond to a light touch
from your fingertip.
