Keyboard and TouchPad
Hardware and Software Guide 2–3
Using the TouchPad
In Windows the TouchPad provides the navigation, selection, and
scroll functions of an optional external mouse.
In Windows:
■ To move the pointer, slide your finger across the TouchPad
surface in the direction you want to move the pointer.
■ To execute the click functions of the left or right button on
an
external mouse, press the left or right TouchPad button.
■ To scroll, place your finger onto the scrolling region, and then
slide your finger upward or downward. (Sliding your finger
from the TouchPad to the scrolling region without first lifting
your finger from the TouchPad and then placing it on the
scrolling region will not activate the scrolling region.)
■ To enable or disable the TouchPad, press the TouchPad
button. When the TouchPad is enabled, the TouchPad light
is
on.
The TouchPad is enabled when the notebook is turned on. If
you work with keystrokes rather than mouse actions, you may
prefer to disable the TouchPad to prevent accidental
TouchPad activity.
Setting TouchPad Preferences
In the Windows Mouse Properties window you can
■ Adjust basic pointing device settings such as click speed,
pointer speed and shape, and mouse trails.
■ Configure the right and left TouchPad buttons for
right-handed or left-handed use. These buttons are set
by
default for right-handed use.
