About the pointing device

Flat point

The flat point is a very handy pointing device that
allows you to move the mouse pointer in any di-
rection you want with one finger. It consists of a
touch-sensitive operating panel, two buttons on
this side of the operating panel, and a scroll but-
ton at the center.
The operating panel, which has the same func-
tion as the ball in a mouse, allows you to move
the mouse pointer on the desktop by moving your
finger along the panel surface. By tapping the
operating panel, you can also click, double-click,
point to, and drag objects on the desktop.
The left- and right-hand buttons are counterparts
of the left and right mouse buttons, respectively.
The functions that they can perform vary depend-
ing on the application you are using.

For reasons of principle of operation, the
pointing performance of the flat point may
vary depending on the degree of dryness
of the user's finger.
The flat point might malfunction if its
operating panel surface is dir ty or
clouded with condensation. In such a
case, wipe it gently with a dry, soft cloth.
If suborn or greasy dirt persists, wipe it
off with a soft cloth dampened with dilute
neutral detergent.
Some applications may not allow you to
scroll up or down through a document,
using the scroll button.
When using a mouse, you can specify
whether to use both the mouse and the
flat point at the same time, using the
BIOS Setup (Keyboard/mouse settings).
