Touchpad Basics
The following items teach you how to use the touchpad:
• Move your finger across the touchpad to move the cursor.• Press the left and right buttons located on the edge of the touchpad to
do selection and execution functions. These two buttons are similar to
the left and right buttons on a mouse. Tapping on the touchpad
produces similar results. See Table 2-6.

Click once When Corner Taps is enabled, tap
on the upper right corner of the
touchpad. See section 5.4 on
how to configure the touchpad.
Keep your fingers dry and clean when using the touchpad. Also
keep the touchpad dry and clean.
The touchpad is sensitive to finger movements. Hence, the
lighter the touch, the better the response. Tapping too hard will
not increase the touchpad’s responsiveness.
