Using external display devices

Scrolling with the TouchPad

™

There are two active regions on the TouchPad

™

that allow you to

scroll as you would with any wheel device on a mouse or trackball.

To scroll vertically, run your finger up or down along the right edge

of the TouchPad. To scroll horizontally, run your finger along the

bottom edge of the TouchPad. This feature can be disabled or

changed in the Mouse Properties dialog box.

Control buttons

When a step instructs you to click or choose an item, move the

cursor to the item, then press and release the primary (left-hand)

button. To double-click, press the primary button twice in rapid

succession. The primary button usually corresponds to the left

mouse button.

The function of the secondary (right-hand) button depends on the

program you are using. It usually corresponds to the right mouse

button (“right-clicking”). Check your program’s documentation to

determine whether it uses the right mouse button.

Disabling or enabling the TouchPad

™

The TouchPad

™

is enabled by default. To change the enable/disable

TouchPad setting, press

Fn + F9. This hot key enables/disables the

TouchPad. For more information, see “Disabling or enabling the

Toshiba Dual Pointing Device” on page 223.

Using external display devices

Your computer comes with a built-in display, but you can also

connect an external monitor or projector via the RGB (monitor)

port.

Connecting an external monitor or projector

You can easily attach an external monitor or projector to your

computer if you need a larger screen. To do this:

1 Read the directions that came with the monitor to see if you

first need to install new software.

2 Connect the monitor’s video cable to the RGB (monitor) port

on the back of the computer.

3 Connect the device’s power cable to a live electrical outlet.
