Touchpad
The built-in touchpad is a pointing device that senses movement on its surface. This means the cursor responds
as you move your finger across the surface of the touchpad. The central location on the palmrest provides
optimum comfort and support.
Touchpad Basics
Use the touchpad as follows:
• Move your finger across the touchpad (2) to move the cursor.
• Press the left (1) and right (4) buttons located on the edge of 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 (2) is the same as clicking the left button.
• Use the four-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.
Note: Keep your fingers, as well as the surface of the touchpad dry and clean. The touchpad is sensitive to
your finger movements: the lighter the touch, the better the response. Tapping hard will not increase the
touchpad’s responsiveness.
Note: By default, vertical and horizontal scrolling is enabled on your touchpad. It can be disabled under Mouse
settings in Windows Control Panel.
