Touchpad Basics
The following items teach you how to use the touchpad:
1.
Move your finger across the touchpad to move the cursor.
2.
Press the left and right buttons located on the edge of the touchpad to do selection and execution
functions. These two buttons are similar to the left and right buttons on a mouse. Tapping on the
touchpad produces similar results.
NOTE:
Keep your fingers dry and clean when using the touchpad. Also keep the touchpad dry and clean. The
touchpad is sensitive to finger movements. Hence, the lighter the touch, the better the response.
Tapping too hard will not increase the touchpad’s responsiveness.
