Touchpad Pointing Device
The Touchpad pointing device comes built into your
LifeBook notebook. It is used to control the movement
of the pointer to select items on your display panel. The
Touchpad is composed of a cursor control and left and
right buttons. The cursor control works the same way a
mouse does, and moves the cursor around the display. It
only requires light pressure with the tip of your finger.
The left and right buttons function the same as mouse
buttons. The actual functionality of the buttons may
vary depending on the application that is being used.

mouse cursor to the item you wish to select, press the
right button once, and then immediately release it. You
can also perform the clicking operation by tapping
