standard configuration. A Trackball or TouchPad are available as options. In the standard
configuration, there is a TrackPoint pointing stick in the center of the keyboard and two "mouse"
buttons mounted in the center of the palm rest. If you also have one of the options, there will
either be a Trackball or TouchPad and buttons installed in the center of the palm rest. You can
configure the pointing devices via the mouse icon in the Windows Control Panel. Click on the
Windows 'Start' button and then point through the hierarchal menus to 'Settings' then 'Control
Panel'. The Control Panel will open. Click on the 'Mouse' icon to display the pointing device
configuration options.
Trackball Use
You control the trackball by rolling the ball around to direct the movement of the cursor on the
screen. Use the two buttons as the left and right mouse buttons.
Using the TrackPoint
To use the TrackPoint control stick, direct the mouse cursor by gently pressing the stick in the
direction you want the cursor to go. It doesn't require much force. The two buttons in the center
of the palm rest are equivalent to the left and right mouse buttons.
The TrackPoint has a replaceable rubber cover. You get spares with the computer so you can
replace the cover if it wears out or if you want to use a black cover instead of the standard red
one.[XP5 1-15]
The Keyboard
The keyboard has all the standard computer typing and control keys. It also has a numeric
keypad and some other key functions "embedded." The standard letter, number and symbol keys
are printed in white on the key-tops. The computer control and cursor keys are printed in yellow.
The embedded keys are printed in gray or teal.
The embedded numeric keypad characters are printed in gray on the lower right-hand corner and
the front of the keys used. They reproduce the functions of the numeric keypad on an IBM 101-
type keyboard, which has a dedicated keypad. To use the embedded keypad, turn on Number
Lock by pressing the 'Num Lock' key once. With Num Lock on, the numeric keys are active. If
you hold down either Shift key as well, the keypad cursor control functions, printed in gray on
the front of the keys, are activated.
There are also some additional Fn-key activated functions printed in Teal on the front of some
keys. These include screen controls and a key to call up the power management setup screen.
The following figures show the keyboard layout and which keys are used by the embedded
keypad. There is more information on specific key functions in Appendix B.
