Getting Started
Using external display devices
Scrolling with the TouchPad
There are two active regions on the TouchPad
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 TouchPad. To scroll horizontally, run your finger along the
bottom edge of the TouchPad. 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.
The function of the secondary (right-hand) button depends on the
program you are using. It usually corresponds to the right mouse
button (“right-clicking”). Check your program’s documentation to
determine whether it uses the right mouse button.
Disabling or enabling the TouchPad
The TouchPad
is enabled by default. To change the enable/disable
TouchPad setting, press
Fn + F9. This hot key enables/disables the
TouchPad. For more information, see “Disabling or enabling the
TouchPad™” on page 199.
Using external display devices
Your computer comes with a built-in display, but you can also
connect an external monitor or projector via the RGB (monitor)
port.
Connecting an external monitor or projector
You can easily attach an external monitor or projector to your
computer if you need a larger screen. To do this:
1 Connect the monitor’s video cable to the RGB (monitor) port
on the side of the computer.
2 Connect the device’s power cable to a live electrical outlet.
3 Turn on the external device.
Your computer will automatically detect the external display
device and activate a screen with display options.
4 Select the settings you desire and click Apply.
5 Click OK.
