Getting Started — Touchpad
2.Gently move your thumb across the pressure-sensitive touchpad in the direction you want the cursor to move. The pad detects the change in pressure and moves the cursor in the corresponding direction.
3.The touchpad offers another method of making selections in a software program. It is called double-tapping. This function corresponds to double- clicking with a mouse. Once the cursor has been moved to the object you want to select, lightly double-tap the pressure sensitive touchpad. This double- tapping on the touchpad will select the desired item and prompt the software to perform the related operation.
4.The buttons located directly below the touchpad are the same in function as those on a two-buttoned mouse. Clicking these buttons makes selections, drags objects, or performs a variety of other functions depending on the software. To select an object, first move the pointer over the object you want to select, and then press the left button one time. The functions of these buttons are software specific.
5.Double-clickingis a common technique for selecting objects or launching programs from icons. Once you have moved the pointer over the object you wish to select, rapidly press the left button two times. This action is commonly referred to as “double-clicking” an object.
Dragging
There are two ways to drag:
•Move the pointer to the desired location then press down the left button. While still holding down the left button, move the pointer to the desired location. Release the button.
•Move the pointer to the desired location. Tap the touchpad twice quickly as if you were double-clicking, however do not remove your finger after the second tap. Move the cursor to the desired location. Lift your finger to finish dragging.
Adjust the touchpad settings by selecting Settings/Control Panel/Mouse/Buttons. These settings allow you to change the orientation of the touchpad from right-handed to left- handed, and fine tune the pointer movement and timing of clicks.
Touchpad Precautions
The Touchpad is a pressure-sensitive device. If not properly cared for, it can be easily damaged. Please take note of the following precautions.
•Make sure the touchpad does not come into contact with dirt, liquids or grease.
•Do not touch the touchpad if your fingers are dirty.
•Do not rest heavy objects on the touchpad or the touchpad buttons.
Scrolling Area
If you are scrolling through a document, you may find that using the scrolling area is more convenient than holding down the mouse button. The scrolling area is located both on the right and lower touchpad panel. Gently move your finger across the arrow signal by the direction to scroll up or down, left or right in a document or web page.
