Getting Familiar With Your Notebook
TouchPad
The integrated TouchPad is a pointing device that senses movement on its surface so the cursor responds as you move your
finger over of the TouchPad. The buttons located directly below the TouchPad have the same function as a two-button mouse.
Press these buttons to make selections, drag objects, or perform a variety of other functions depending on the software.

2.
Press and hold the left button or tap the TouchPad two
times as if you were double-clicking but do not remove your

Scrolling
Two-Finger Scrolling
The two-finger scrolling feature allows you to scroll vertically
or horizontally and initiate scrolling from anywhere on the
TouchPad surface.

Place two fingers down on the TouchPad surface. The
fingers should be slightly separated.
5.
Using a straight continuous motion, slide both fingers in
the desired direction.

Zooming
Pinch Zoom
The Pinch Zoom gesture delivers smooth zooming
functionality in many applications, including Microsoft Office
2003 and 2007, MS IE 6,7, and 8, as well as Adobe Acrobat/
Reader and PhotoShop CS3 and CS4, MS Windows Media
Player 11, WinDVD 9, and iTunes. This feature is enhanced with
PointZoom(TM) for intelligent and contextual zoom control.
Users surfing the Web can pinch over a site’s text enlarging
the font, pinch over a map and zoom the map - all in the same
browser window.
The Pinch Zoom gesture can be used to perform the same
function as a scroll wheel on a standard Windows applications
that support CTRL-SCROLL WHEEL zoom functionality.
To use the Pinch Zoom gesture:
1.
Place two fingers down on the TouchPad surface.
2.
Slide the fingers further apart to zoom in or slide the
fingers closer together to zoom out. For the best zooming
experience, use the tips of your fingers.
Rotating Objects
Pivot Rotate
The Pivot Rotate gesture allows objects such as a photo,
PDF file, or other selected object, to be rotated in 90 degree
increments.
1.
Place one finger down on the left “target” zone (adjustable
scroll zone) of the TouchPad surface and keep it stationary.
2.
Place another finger down near the middle of the TouchPad.
3.
Slide the second finger in a circular motion around the
first finger. Ensure that the space between the two fingers
remains the same while making the circular motion. Slide
clockwise or counterclockwise to rotate the selected object
in the desired direction.
