Using The Touchpad; Setting Pointing Device Preferences - HP G56-141 User Manual

Using the TouchPad

To turn the TouchPad on and off, quickly double-tap the TouchPad light. When the TouchPad light is
amber, the TouchPad is off.
To move the pointer, slide one finger across the TouchPad in the direction you want the pointer to go.
Use the left and right TouchPad buttons like the buttons on an external mouse. To scroll up and down
using the TouchPad vertical scroll zone, slide your finger up or down over the lines.
NOTE: If you are using the TouchPad to move the pointer, you must lift your finger off the TouchPad
before moving it to the scroll zone. Simply sliding your finger from the TouchPad to the scroll zone does
not activate the scrolling function.
NOTE: In addition to the pointing devices included with your computer, you can use an external USB
mouse (purchased separately) by connecting it to one of the USB ports on the computer.

Setting pointing device preferences

To customize settings for pointing devices, such as button configuration, click speed, and pointer
options, select Computer > Control Center > Mouse.
