Basic Operation

Operating Your Notebook

Moving and selecting using the touch pad and click buttons

??To move the pointer, move your thumb or finger across the touch pad.

??Use the click buttons— which function like the left and right buttons on a mouse— to make your selection. You can also tap on the touch pad instead of clicking a button.

??To open an application or document, move the pointer over the icon, then either press the left click button twice rapidly (double-click), or tap twice quickly on the touch pad.

??To make a menu selection, move the pointer to the item and click the left click button.

??To open the shortcut menu for an item, move the pointer over the item and click the right click button.

??To drag an item, move the pointer over the item. Press and hold the left click button while you move the pointer to the new location, then release the button.

??To scroll up or down, press the upper or lower portion of the scroll toggle.

You can customize the operation of many of these devices: you can change the click

button actions, double-click speed, pointer speed, and more: click Start, Control Panel, Printers and Other Hardware, Mouse, or double-click the touch pad icon in the taskbar.
