Getting Started
Using the touchpad
Adjusting touchpad settings
While you are typing, the on-screen pointer may seem to
move or jump around “by itself” to random locations on the
screen. The on-screen pointer may also seem to
automatically select text, click buttons, and activate other
user interface elements. For help with these problems, try
one or more of the following:
❖
Try adjusting your typing technique to avoid accidental
contact with the touchpad. You may be inadvertently
brushing the touchpad with the heel of your hand as you
type. Also, accidental light touches or taps on the
touchpad may select an item or text on the screen, and
potentially the item or text may be replaced by the next
character you type.
❖
Temporarily disable the touchpad, so that it does not
respond to touch or button presses while you type. See
“Disabling or enabling the touchpad” on page 54
❖
Adjust the sensitivity of the touchpad, so that it is less
responsive to accidental light taps and lighter finger
pressure.
Zoom in/out
To zoom in:
❖
Place two fingers close
together on the touchpad
and then slide them apart.
To zoom out:
❖
Place two fingers slightly
apart on the touchpad
and then slide them
together.
