Using the TouchPad™

The TouchPad, the small, smooth square cutout located in front of the keyboard, is sensitive to touch and enables you to move the cursor with the stroke of a finger. Simply move your finger on the TouchPad in the direction you’d like to move the cursor:

❖To move the cursor to the top of the page, push your finger forward on the TouchPad.

❖To move the cursor to the bottom of the page, drag your finger toward yourself.

❖To move the cursor to the right side of the page, slide your finger across the TouchPad from left to right.

❖To move it to the left side, slide your finger from right to left.

Because the TouchPad is much smaller than the display screen, moving your cursor across the screen often means having to move your finger several times across the TouchPad in the preferred direction.

Once you have positioned your cursor, you can either click it into place by double-tapping the TouchPad or clicking the control buttons.

For more on the TouchPad, see “Lesson 2: Using the TouchPad and control buttons together” on page 136.

You can disable or enable the TouchPad. See “Disabling or enabling the TouchPad” on page 56.
