Using the TouchPad™
Adjusting TouchPad™ settings
While you are typing, the on-screen pointer may seem to move or
jump around “by itself” to random locations on the screen. The
on-screen pointer may also seem to automatically select text, click
buttons, and activate other user interface elements. For help with
these problems, try one or more of the following:
❖ Try adjusting your typing technique to avoid accidental contact
with the TouchPad™. You may be inadvertently brushing the
TouchPad with the heel of your hand as you type. Also,
accidental light touches or taps on the TouchPad 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 TouchPad, so that it does not respond
to touch or button presses while you type. See “Disabling or
enabling the TouchPad™” on page 80.
❖ Disable the tapping feature. If you disable tapping only, you
can still use the TouchPad’s control buttons and move the
pointer by sliding your finger on the TouchPad.
❖ Adjust the sensitivity of the TouchPad, so that it is less
responsive to accidental light taps and lighter finger pressure.
Scroll continuously
(Circular scrolling)
1 Begin scrolling vertically or horizontally
by sliding your finger along the right or
bottom edge of the TouchPad as
described above.
2 Without lifting your finger from the
TouchPad, start moving your finger in a
circular motion on the TouchPad.
3 To scroll in the opposite direction,
reverse the direction of the circular
motion.
4 To stop scrolling, lift your finger off of
the TouchPad.
