4 Using the Notebook PC
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. 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.
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.
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 sen-
sitive and contains no moving parts; therefore, mechani-
cal failures can be avoided. A device driver is still re-
quired for working with some application software.
