Touchpad Basics (With Fingerprint Reader) - Acer Aspire 5942 Service Manual

TouchPad Basics (with fingerprint reader)

The following items show you how to use the TouchPad with Acer Bio-Protection fingerprint reader:
• 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.
• Use Acer Bio-Protection fingerprint reader (3) supporting Acer FingerNav 4-way control function
(only for certain models) or the 4-way scroll (3) button (only 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.

NOTE: When using the TouchPad, keep it - and your fingers - dry and clean. The TouchPad is sensitive to
finger movement; hence, the lighter the touch, the better the response. Tapping too hard will not
increase the TouchPad's responsiveness.
