Apple APLLE MACBOOK manual Tips for Using the Trackpad

Using the Trackpad

How far the pointer moves onscreen is based on how quickly you move your finger across the trackpad. To move the pointer a short distance, move your finger slowly across the trackpad; the faster you move your finger, the farther the pointer moves onscreen. You can also adjust the tracking speed in the Keyboard & Mouse pane of System Preferences.

You can scroll vertically or horizontally in a window that has scroll bars, by moving two fingers on the trackpad. You can turn this option on or off in the Keyboard & Mouse pane of System Preferences.

Tips for Using the Trackpad

For best results when using the trackpad:

ÂUse only one finger, except when the scrolling feature is turned on and you want to scroll.

ÂDo not use a pen or any other object.

ÂKeep your finger and the trackpad dry. If the trackpad becomes moist from humidity or condensation, gently wipe it with a clean cloth before you use it.

ÂNever use any kind of cleaning solution on the trackpad.

For more information about using the trackpad, choose Help > Mac Help from the menu bar at the top of the screen.
