Touchpad Basics (with fingerprint reader)
The following items show you how to use the touchpad with Acer Bio-Protection fingerprint reader.
• 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 Acer Bio-Protection fingerprint reader (3) supporting Acer FingerNav 4-way control function (only
for certain models) to scroll up or down and move left or right a page. This fingerprint reader or button
mimics your cursor pressing on the right scroll bar of Windows applications.
