Touchpad Pointing Device

The Touchpad pointing device comes built into your Fujitsu LifeBook notebook. It is used to control the movement of the pointer to select items on your display panel. The Touchpad is composed of a cursor control, two left and two right buttons, and a scrolling button.

The cursor control works the same way a mouse does, moving the cursor around the display. The left and right buttons located above the Touchpad are designed for easy access when using the cursor control. The cursor control only requires light pressure with the tip of your finger.

The left and right buttons function the same as mouse buttons. The actual functionality of the buttons may vary depending on the application that is being used. The scrolling button allows you to navigate quickly through pages, without having to use the scroll bars. (Figure 2-11)

An external mouse can be connected to either the USB or PS/2 ports on your Life- Book notebook or the optional port repli- cator, and used simultaneously with the Touchpad. However, if you boot the sys- tem with an external mouse connected the Touchpad will be disabled or enabled depending on the specifications in your BIOS settings. (See BIOS Setup Utility on page 27 for more information)

CLICKING

Clicking means pushing and releasing a button. To left- click, move the cursor to the item you wish to select, press the left button once, and then immediately release it. To right-click, move the mouse cursor to the item you wish to select, press the right button once, and then immediately release it. You also have the option to

perform the clicking operation by tapping lightly on the Touchpad once. (Figure 2-12)

DOUBLE-CLICKING

Double-clicking means pushing and releasing the left button twice in rapid succession. This procedure does not function with the right button. To double-click, move the cursor to the item you wish to select, press the left button twice, and then immediately release it. You also have the option to perform the double-click operation by tapping lightly on the Touchpad twice. (Figure 2-13)
