Checking the internal storage drive operating status
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

Disabling or enabling the touch pad
The touch pad is enabled by default. To enable/disable the touch
pad, do one of the following:
❖Press the touch pad ON/OFF ( ) button.
(Available on certain models.)
❖Press Fn + F9. For more information, see “Disabling or enabling
the touch pad” on page 188.
Alternately, you can disable only the tapping feature. If you disable
tapping only, you can still use the touch pad’s control buttons and
move the pointer by sliding your finger on the touch pad. To disable
tapping only, use the Mouse Properties option in the Windows®
Control Panel.
Scrolling with the touch pad
There are two active regions on the touch pad that allow you to
scroll as you would with any wheel device on a mouse or trackball.
To scroll vertically, run your finger up or down along the right edge
of the touch pad. To scroll horizontally, run your finger along the
bottom edge of the touch pad. This feature can be disabled or
changed in the Mouse Properties dialog box.
Control buttons
When a step instructs you to click or choose an item, move the
cursor to the item, then press and release the primary (left-hand)
button. To double-click, press the primary button twice in rapid
succession. The primary button usually corresponds to the left
mouse button.
The function of the secondary (right-hand) button depends on the
program you are using. It usually corresponds to the right mouse
button (“right-clicking”). Check your program’s documentation to
determine whether it uses the right mouse button.
