70 Getting Started
Using the touch pad
❖Try adjusting your typing technique to avoid accidental
contact with the touch pad. You may be inadvertently
brushing the touch pad with the heel of your hand as you
type. Also, accidental light touches or taps on the touch
pad may select an item or text on the screen, and
potentially the item or text may be replaced by the next
character you type.
❖Temporarily disable the touch pad, so that it does not
respond to touch or button presses while you type. See
“Disabling or enabling the touch pad” on page 70.
❖Adjust the sensitivity of the touch pad, so that it is less
responsive to accidental light taps and lighter finger
pressure.
Touch pad setting options vary by computer model. The
touch pad settings are accessible through the Mouse
Properties option of the Windows Control Panel. For
more information, please visit support.toshiba.com.
Disabling or enabling the touch pad
The touch pad is enabled by default. To enable/disable the
touch pad, press F5. For more information, see “Disabling or
enabling the touch pad” on page 173.
Connecting an external device
Depending on your system, some models may include
USB 3.0 port(s). To distinguish these ports, please look
for the blue inset within the USB 3.0 port (if available).
You can easily attach an external device your computer.
To do this:
1Read the directions that came with the device to see if
you first need to install new software.
2Connect the device’s video or USB cable to the port on
the computer and to the device.
3Connect the device’s power cable to a live electrical
outlet (if applicable).
