Touchpad
The built-in touchpad, which is a PS/2-compatible pointing device,
senses movement on its surface. As you move your fingertip on the
surface of the pad, the cursor responds accordingly.
The following items teach you how to use the touchpad:
1. Move your finger across the touchpad to move the cursor.
2. Press buttons to select or execute functions. These two buttons
are similar to the left and right buttons on a mouse. Tapping on
the touchpad twice is similar to clicking the left button of a
mouse.

Tips on Using the Touchpad:
1. The double-click speed is timed. If you double-click too slowly,
your notebook will respond as if you single-clicked twice.
2. Keep your fingers dry and clean when using the touchpad. Also
keep the surface of the touchpad clean and dry to prolong its life.
3. The touchpad is sensitive to finger movements. Hence, the
lighter the touch, the better the response. A heavy touch does not
produce a better response.
