Caring for the Touchpad

The touchpad is pressure sensitive. If not properly cared for, it can be easily damaged. Take
note of the following precautions.
• Make sure the touchpad does not come into contact with dirt, liquids or grease.
• Do not touch the touchpad if your fingers are dirty or wet.
• Do not rest heavy objects on the touchpad or the touchpad buttons.
• Do not scratch the touchpad with your finger nails or any hard objects.
NOTE: The touchpad responds to movement not to force. There is no need to tap
the surface too hard. Tapping too hard does not increase the responsiveness of the
touchpad. The touchpad responds best to light pressure.

Automatic Touchpad Disabling
