Operating Basics

Touch Pad Gesture

There are four convenient gestures that make users operate the system easier and faster.

Circular Motion

You can scroll vertically and horizontally. To enable these features, select the Enable vertical scrolling and Enable horizontal scrolling check boxes.

Click on the window or item you wish to scroll and slide your finger upwards or downwards along the right edge of the TouchPad to scroll vertically. Slide your finger to the left or right along the lower edge of the TouchPad to scroll horizontally.

If scrolling does not respond, ensure that the appropriate check box is selected and that the window or item on which you have clicked is scrollable. If you still have problems, check your Scrolling Region settings.

Pinch Zoom (Pinch)

The Pinch Zoom gesture delivers zooming functionality in many applications. You can use the Pinch Zoom gesture to perform the same functions that a scroll wheel performs on standard Windows applications that support CTRL-SCROLL WHEEL zoom functionality.

To enable this feature, select the Enable Pinch Zoom check box. To use a Pinch Zoom gesture:

1.Place two fingers down on the TouchPad surface.

2.Slide the fingers further apart to zoom in or slide the fingers closer together to zoom out. For the best zooming experience, use the tips of your fingers.

Rotating (ChiralRotate)

The Rotating features provide convenient gestures for rotating photos and other objects.

Momentum

The Momentum feature delivers smooth, fast, trackball-like mouse movement. One quick flick of the finger on the TouchPad surface can move the cursor across the entire computer screen. Momentum reduces the repetitive motion and fatigue associated with moving the cursor long distances, while providing a smooth and natural feel similar to using a trackball. Momentum is ideal for Real Time Strategy (RTS) games, First Person Shooter (FPS) games, and Role Playing Games (RPG).

The two buttons below the Touch Pad are used like the buttons on a standard mouse - press the left button to select a menu item or to manipulate text or graphics designated by the pointer, and press the right button to display a menu or other function depending on the software you are using.
