Getting Started
Using the Toshiba Dual Pointing Device
accidental light touches or taps on the touch pad may select an
item or text on the screen, and potentially the item or text may
be replaced by the next character you type.
❖ Temporarily disable the touch pad, so that it does not respond
to touch or button presses while you type. See “Disabling or
enabling the touch pad” on page 67.
❖ Adjust the sensitivity of the touch pad, so that it is less
responsive to accidental light taps and lighter finger pressure.
Touch pad setting options vary by computer model. The touch pad
settings are accessible through the Mouse Properties option of the
Windows Control Panel. For more information, please visit
support.toshiba.com.
Disabling or enabling the touch pad
The touch pad is enabled by default. To enable/disable the touch
pad, do one of the following:
❖ Press the touch pad ON/OFF ( ) button.
(Available on certain models.)
❖ Press
Fn + F9. For more information, see “Disabling or enabling
the touch pad” on page 173.
When the touch pad is disabled, the (touch pad) primary and
secondary buttons will also be disabled. However, the AccuPoint
®
and AccuPoint
®
button functions will remain enabled.
Scrolling with the touch pad
There are two active regions on the touch pad that allow you to
scroll as you would with any wheel device on a mouse or trackball.
To scroll vertically, run your finger up or down along the right edge
of the touch pad. To scroll horizontally, run your finger along the
bottom edge of the touch pad. This feature can be disabled or
changed in the Mouse Properties dialog box.
Control buttons
When a step instructs you to click or choose an item, move the
cursor to the item, then press and release the primary (left-hand)
button. To double-click, press the primary button twice in rapid
succession. The primary button usually corresponds to the left
mouse button.
