Navigating the screen

You can navigate the computer screen in the following ways:

Touch gestures on the TouchPad and (on select models) the touch screen

●

Keyboard and mouse

●

Touch gestures can be used on your computer's TouchPad or on a touch screen (select models

only).

NOTE:

An external USB mouse (purchased separately) can be connected to one of the USB ports

on the computer.

Select computer models have special action keys or hot key functions on the keyboard to perform

routine tasks.

Some computer models may also have an integrated numeric keypad.

The large TouchPad allows you to navigate the computer screen and control the pointer by using

simple finger movements. You can customize the touch gestures by changing settings, button

configurations, click speed, and pointer options. You can also view demonstrations of TouchPad

gestures.

From the Start screen, type control panel, select Control Panel, and then select Hardware and

Sound. Under Devices and Printers, select Mouse.

TIP:

Use the left and right buttons on the TouchPad as you would use the corresponding buttons on

an external mouse.

NOTE:

TouchPad gestures are not supported in all apps.
