The Flat Point is a handy pointing device that enables you to move the mouse pointer freely with
your finger. It consists of a touch-pad, left and right buttons on this side of the touch-pad, and the
scroll button between the left and right buttons.
The touch-pad has the same function as the ball in a mouse. You can move the mouse pointer in any
directions on the screen by sliding the tip of a finger on the touch-pad. Moreover, if you tap the touch-
pad with a finger, you can click, double-click, point to, or drag any object on the screen.
The left and right buttons correspond to the left and right buttons of a mouse, and their functions
vary from application to application.
Pressing the scroll button forward or backward enables you to easily scroll a window up or down.
Critical Points
The Flat Point may malfunction if condensation occurs or if it is moistened. In addition, if you
operate it with a moistened or sweaty finger, or if the Flat Point surface is dirty, the mouse
pointer may not move correctly. In such a case, turn off your computer and wipe dirt off with
a soft cloth slightly dampened with dilute detergent.
Some applications do not allow you to use the scroll button to scroll windows.
You can use an optionally available USB mouse instead of the Flat Point.
