Using the touch pad
❖
Try adjusting your typing technique to avoid accidental
contact with the touch pad. You may be inadvertently
brushing the touch pad with the heel of your hand as you
type. Also, accidental light touches or taps on the touch
pad may select an item or text on the screen, and
potentially the item or text may be replaced by the next
character you type.
❖
Temporarily disable the touch pad, so that it does not
respond to touch or button presses while you type. See

Adjust the sensitivity of the touch pad, so that it is less
