Touchpad Basics - Acer TravelMate 2310 Service Manual

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 on the surface of the touchpad. The central location on the palmrest
provides optimum comfort and suuport.

Touchpad basics

The following items teach you how to use the touchpad:
* 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 do selection and execution
functions. These two buttons are similar to the left and right buttons on a mouse. Tapping on the touchapd is
the same as clicking the left button.
* Use the 4-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.

NOTE: Keep your fingers dry and clean when using the touchpad. Also keep the touchpad dry and clean. The
touchpad is sensitive to finger movement, hence, the lighter the touch, the better the response. Taping
harder will not increase the touchpad's responsiveness.
