This chapter gives information on basic operations including using the
touchpad, optical disc drive, Audio/Video controls, the web camera, the

caring for your computer, diskettes and CD/DVD.
Using The Touchpad

Two buttons below the touchpad are used like the buttons on a mouse
pointer.
Press the left button to select a menu item or to manipulate text or graphics
designated by the pointer. Press the right button to display a menu or other
function depending on the software you are using.
You can also tap the touchpad to perform functions similar to those of the
left button on a standard mouse.
Click:
Tap the touchpad once.
Double-click:
Tap twice.
Drag and drop:
Tap to select the material you want to move. Leave your
finger on the touchpad after the second tap and move the material.
