Touchpad

The built-in touchpad is a pointing device that senses movement on its surface. This means the
cursor responds as you move your finger across the surface of the touchpad. The central location
on the palmrest provides optimum comfort and support.

Touchpad Basics

Use the touchpad as follows:
• Move your finger across the touchpad (2) to move the cursor.
• Press the left (1) and right (4) buttons located on the edge of the touchpad to perform selection and
execution functions. These two buttons are similar to the left and right buttons on a mouse. Tapping on
the touchpad (2) is the same as clicking the left button.
• Use the four-way scroll (3) button to scroll up or down and move left or right a page. This button mimics
your cursor pressing on the right scroll bar of windows applications.
