Touchpad Basics
The following teaches you how to use the touchpad:
Move your finger across the touchpad (2) to move the cursor.
Press the left (1) and right (4) buttons located beneath the touchpad to perform selection and execution
functions. These two buttons are similar to the left and right buttons on a mouse. Tapping on the
touchpad is the same as clicking the left button.
Use the 4-way scroll (3) button to scroll up or down and move left or right a page. This button mimics
your cursor pressing on the right scroll bar of Windows applications.
