Handling the Touch Pad
If a key combination such as Fn + F5 is used while the pad is being touched,
the function of the key combination may not work. In addition, it is possible that
control of the cursor will be lost and the cursor will not show proper movements. In
such cases, the computer has to be restarted by using the keyboard (e.g., ).
The touch pad is designed to be used with a fingertip only. Therefore, avoid the
following actions, which may cause damage to the work surface.
• Placing any object on the work surface
• Pressing down forcefully with sharp-pointed objects (e.g., nails) or hard objects
that can leave marks (e.g., pencils and ball point pens)
Try to avoid having any harmful substances such as oil, come in contact with the
touch pad. The cursor may not work properly in such cases.
When the touch pad becomes dirty:
Wipe to remove dirt by using a dry soft cloth such as gauze or a soft cloth first applied
with detergent diluted with water and then thoroughly wrung.
Do not use benzene or thinner, or rubbing alcohol. Doing so may adversely affect the
surface, e.g., discoloration. In addition, do not use commercially-available household
cleaners and cosmetics, as they may contain components harmful to the surface.
