Pointing Device

The Notebook PC's integrated touchpad pointing device is fully compatible with all two/three-button and
scrolling knob PS/2 mice. The touchpad is pressure sensitive and contains no moving parts; therefore,
mechanical failures can be avoided. A device driver is still required for working with some application
software. See the Driver & Utility Guide for information on drivers and utilities for the touchpad.

Using the Touchpad

Light pressure with the tip of your finger is all that is required to operate the touchpad. Because the
touchpad is electrostatic sensitive, objects cannot be used in place of your fingers. The touchpad's
primary function is to move the cursor around or select items displayed on the screen with the use of
your fingertip. The following illustrations demonstrate proper use of the touchpad.
Moving the cursor - Place your finger in the center of the touchpad and do the following to move the
