Knowing the Touchpad

The touchpad integrated in your notebook is a pointing device that is compatible with standard

mouse, allowing you to control the notebook by pointing the location of the cursor on the screen

and making selection with its two buttons.

1. Cursor Movement Area

This pressure-sensitive area of the

touchpad, allows you to place your

finger on and control the cursor on

the screen by moving one of your

finger.

2. Right / Left Buttons

Acts as the mouse’s right/ left button.

Using the Touchpad

Read the following description to learn how to use the touchpad:

 Configuring the Touchpad

You can customize the pointing device to meet your personal needs. For example, if you

are a left-handed user, you may want to swap the functions of the two buttons. In addition,

you can change the size, shape, moving speed and other advanced features of the cursor

on the screen.

To configure the touchpad, you can use the standard Microsoft or IBM PS/2 driver in your

Windows operating system. The Mouse Properties in Control Panel allows you to

change the configuration.

 Positioning and Moving

Place your finger on the touchpad (usually using the forefinger), and the rectangular pad will

act as a miniature duplicate of your display. When you move your fingertip across the pad,

the cursor on the screen will move simultaneously to the same direction. When your finger

reaches the edge of the pad, lift your finger and place it on a proper location of the touchpad

to continue the movement.
