Since the Touchpad is a pressure-sensitive device, therefore proper care should be attended to in order to prevent damage. Please also note the following precautions:

•Make sure the touchpad does not come into contact with dirt, liquid or grease.

•Do not touch the touchpad if your fingers are dirty.

•Do not place heavy objects on the touchpad or on the touchpad buttons.

►Clicking◄

You can move the pointer over to the item with your finger on the pad, and click once on the left button below to select it, or simply tap once on the touchpad.

►Double Clicking◄

Move the pointer over to the item with your finger on the pad, and click twice on the left button to select menu items, or simply tap twice on the touchpad.

►To drag and drop◄

Move the pointer over to the item with your finger on the pad, click once on the left button beneath the Touchpad and select the item you want, once the item is selected, you can then drag the item by gliding your finger on the Touchpad (clicking twice on the Touchpad buttons equals to the speed of a double-click on a regular mouse).

►The Scroll buttons◄

If you are scrolling through the document, you may do so by gliding your finger on the Touchpad while holding the scroll button.

You may adjust your Touchpad settings by going into Start/Control Panel /Mouse/Buttons. You can change the Touchpad’s operating orientations through these settings, for example changing from right-handed to left-handed operations. You may also adjust cursor speed as well as response time of mouse clicks.
