Move your finger across the touchpad (1) to move the cursor.
Press the left (2) and right (4) buttons located beneath 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 is the same as clicking the left button.

for certain models) to scroll up or down and move left or right a page. This fingerprint reader or button
mimics your cursor pressing on the right scroll bar of Windows applications.
