Pointing Device

The Notebook PC’s integrated touchpad pointing device is fully compatible with all two/ three-button and scrolling knob PS/2 mice. The touchpad is electrostatic sensitive and contains no moving parts; therefore, mechanical failures can be avoided. A device driver is still required for working with some application software.

IMPORTANT! Do not use any objects in place of your finger to operate the touchpad 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.
