TravelPoint Pointing Device
Using TravelPoint Controls and Indicators
Hold TravelPoint in your hand as shown in the figure, with the two round buttons facing
up and the cable coming out at the bottom of your hand. TravelPoint has four controls
and one indicator as shown in the following figure.
Roller Ball - Moving the roller ball with your thumb (or other digit) moves the pointer on
your computer screen just as if you were 'dragging' a conventional mouse about a flat
surface. Use sufficient thumb pressure to rotate the ball, but not so much as to be
uncomfortable. Rotate the ball in the direction you want to move the arrow (or other
cursor) on the screen. That is, slide your thumb to the left over the ball to move the cursor
to the left on the display, and slide your thumb upward over the ball to move the cursor
upward on the display.
Note: You can adjust the speed and sensitivity of the cursor movement on the display
in Windows by using the Control Panel menu Mouse box.
Point Button - The point button corresponds to the left (or main) button of a conventional
mouse. Press this button when you want to select an item you have pointed to on your
display. If a double click is directed, press the point button twice in quick succession.
