Pointing Device

The Notebook PC’s integrated touchpad pointing de-

vice is fully compatible with all two/three-button and

scrolling knob PS/2 mice. The touchpad is pressure sen-

sitive and contains no moving parts; therefore, mechani-

cal failures can be avoided. A device driver is still re-

quired for working with some application software.

IMPORTANT! Do not use any objects in

place of your finger to operate the touch-

pad or else damage may occur to the

touchpad’s surface.

Using the Touchpad

Light pressure with the tip of your finger is all that

is required to operate the touchpad. Because the

touchpad is electrostatic sensitive, objects cannot

be used in place of your fingers. The touchpad’s

primary function is to move the cursor around or

select items displayed on the screen with the use of

your fingertip instead of a standard desktop mouse.

The following illustrations demonstrate proper use

of the touchpad.

Moving The Cursor

Place your finger in the center of the touchpad and

slide in a direction to move the cursor.

Scrolling

Slide your finger up or down on the right side to

scroll a window up or down.
