Distinctive Functions of Your Computer
The TrackPoint pointing device consists of a stick on the keyboard
and three click buttons below the keyboard. Movement of the
cursor on the screen is controlled by the amount of pressure that you
apply to the nonslip cap on the stick in any direction parallel to the
keyboard; the stick itself does
not
move. The speed at which the
cursor moves corresponds to the pressure you apply to the stick.
The function of the click buttons depends on the software you are
using.

If you are not familiar with using the TrackPoint, these instructions
will help you get started:
1
Place your hands in the typing position and press gently
with either index finger on the stick in the direction you
want the cursor to move.
Pressing the stick away from you moves the cursor up the
screen; pressing it toward you moves the cursor down the
screen. You can also move the cursor side to side by pressing
sideways.
Note: The cursor may drift. This is not a defect. Do not use the
TrackPoint until the cursor stops moving.
