Getting Started

Using the TouchPad™
Scrolling with the TouchPad™

There are two active regions on the TouchPad™ 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 TouchPad. To scroll horizontally, run your finger along the bottom edge of the TouchPad. 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.

Disabling or enabling the TouchPad™

The TouchPad™ is enabled by default. To change the enable/disable TouchPad setting:

1Click Start, and then Control Panel. The Control Panel window appears.

2Click Printers and Other Hardware.

3Click the Mouse icon.

The Mouse Properties window appears.
