Functions of your computer
The TrackPoint consists of a stick on the keyboard and three click
buttons below the keyboard. Movement of the cursor on the
screen is controlled by the amount of pressure that you apply to the
nonslip cap on the stick in any direction parallel to the keyboard;
the stick itself does
not
move. The speed at which the cursor
moves corresponds to the pressure you apply to the stick. The
functions of the left and right click buttons correspond to those of
the left and right mouse buttons on a traditional mouse; these
functions depend on the software you are using. The function of
the center button is described on page 47.

If you are not familiar with using the TrackPoint, these instructions
will help you get started:
1
Place your hands in the typing position. With either
index finger, press gently on the stick in the direction
you want the cursor to move.
Pressing the stick away from you moves the cursor up the
screen; pressing it toward you moves the cursor down the
screen. You can also move the cursor side to side by
pressing sideways.
The cursor might drift. This is not a defect. Do not
use the TrackPoint until the cursor stops moving.
