4 Using the Notebook PC
Pointing Device
The Notebook PC’s integrated touchpad pointing de-
vice is fully compatible with all two/three-button and
scrolling knob PS/2 mice. The touchpad is pressure
sensitive and contains no moving parts; therefore,
mechanical failures can be avoided. A device driver
is still required for working with some application
software.
Using the Touchpad
Light pressure with the tip of your finger is all that
is required to operate the touchpad. Because the
touchpad is electrostatic sensitive, objects cannot
be used in place of your fingers. The touchpad’s
primary function is to move the cursor around or
select items displayed on the screen with the use of
your fingertip instead of a standard desktop mouse.
The following illustrations demonstrate proper use
of the touchpad.
Moving The Cursor
Place your finger in the center of the touchpad and
slide in a direction to move the cursor.
Scrolling
Slide your finger up or down on the right side to
scroll a window up or down.
IMPORTANT! Do not use any objects in
place of your finger to operate the touch-
pad or else damage may occur to the
touchpad’s surface.
