To use the pointing devices
Your computer includes two built-in pointing devices: the pointing stick and touch pad.
1. Pointing stick (pressure-sensitive pointing device).
2. Click buttons and scroll button. The click buttons work like the left and right buttons
on a standard mouse. The scroll button works with the pointing stick to scroll the
contents of a window.
3. Touch pad (touch-sensitive pointing device).
4. Click buttons. These also work like the left and right buttons on a standard mouse.
Moving and selecting
1. Place your hands in a normal typing position.
2. Pointing stick. With your index finger, press the pointing stick in the direction you
want the pointer to move.
Touch pad. Move a thumb or finger across the touch pad in the direction you want
the pointer to move.
3. Use the left and right click buttons, which function like the left and right buttons on a
mouse, to make your selection:
• To open an application, move the pointer over the icon and double-click the left
button.

button.
• To open the shortcut menu for an item, move the pointer over the item and click
