The TrackPoint center button 3 , called the scroll bar, enables you to scroll Web pages or documents in any
direction with no need to use the graphic scroll bars on the side of the window.
If you are not familiar with the TrackPoint, these instructions will help you get started:
1. Place your hands in the typing position, and press gently with either index nger on the pointing stick in
the direction in which you want the pointer to move.
To move the pointer, press the pointing stick away from you to move it up, toward you to move it
down, to one side or the other to move it sideways.
Note: The pointer might drift. This is not a defect. Stop using the TrackPoint pointing device for a
few seconds, then the pointer will stop moving.
2. To select and drag, press the left or right click button with either thumb and move the TrackPoint
pointing stick.
By enabling Press-to-Select, you can make the TrackPoint pointing stick function the same as the
left or right click button.
