Integrated TouchPad Pointing Device

The TouchPad pointing device is composed of
a small rectangular touch sensitive pad and two
buttons located in front of the keyboard. The
TouchPad pointing device has the function of
a mouse,and moves the cursor around on the
screen – up, down,left and right.A light pres-
sure with the tip of your finger is all that is
required to operate the pad. Pencil erasers, etc.
do not work. The faster you move your finger
the faster the cursor will move. The second part
of the TouchPad pointing device – the buttons
– function as mouse buttons, and the functions
they perform depend on the application you are
running. Figure 2-6 shows the position of the
pointing device and mouse buttons.
P O I N T
An external mouse can be connected to
the PS/2 Connector on the right side of
your notebook, and used at the same time
as the Internal TouchPad Pointing Device.
P O I N T
The left (primary) mouse button functions
can also be perf o rmed with your fin g e r
on the TouchPad. You can disable the
TouchPad actuation of the button func-
tions. (See TouchPad Pointing Device
Adjustments on page 29.)
Clicking
Clicking means pushing and releasing a releas-
ing a button. To left-click (primary-click) move
the screen cursor to the item you wish to select,
press the left (primary) pointing device button
once,and then immediately release it. To right-
click, move the mouse cursor to the item you
wish to select, press the right pointing device
button once so that it makes a clicking sound,
and then immediately release it.(Figure 2-7.)
You can also left (primary) click by a light tap
ending with the finger o the pad,instead of
using the button.
