Touchpad

The built-in touchpad is a pointing device that senses move-
ment on its surface. This means the cursor responds as you
move your finger over of the touchpad. It also provides all the
features of a two-button mouse.

How to Use the Touchpad

1.
First, place your fingers on the keyboard in the normal typing
position. The touchpad is easily accessible by moving either
your left or right thumb off the space bar and onto the touch-
pad.
2.
Gently move your thumb across the pressure-sensitive touch-
pad in the direction you want the cursor to move. The pad
detects the change in pressure and moves the cursor in the
corresponding direction.
3.
You can also make selections by double-tapping. This func-
tion corresponds to double-clicking with a mouse. Once the
cursor has been moved to the object you want to select, lightly
double-tap the pressure sensitive touchpad. This double-tap-
ping on the touchpad selects the desired item and prompts the
software to perform the related operation.

in function as those on a two-buttoned mouse. Pressing these
buttons makes selections, drags objects, or performs a variety
