TOUCHPAD & KEYBOARD
Using the touchpad
The touchpad consists of a touch-sensitive tablet and
two buttons, which together perform the same
function as a mouse. The left and right touchpad
buttons correspond to left and right mouse buttons.
How to use the touchpad
♦
Touch the tablet only with your finger tip.
Don't use your fingernails or a pen, or wear a
glove.
♦
Touch only one place on the tablet's surface.
Touching two or more places at the same time
confuses the software.
♦
Tapping the tablet's surface acts like clicking a
left mouse button.
Caution
Don't use the touchpad if your fingers are wet. Don't
press too hard on the tablet's surface; you could break it
or hurt yourself.
Touchpad gestures
The basic touchpad gestures are as follows
♦
To move the cursor: Slide your finger tip across
the surface of the tablet. To move the cursor a
large distance, move your finger in the required
direction several times in succession. Only slight
movement is needed for more accurate
positioning of the cursor.
♦
To left-click: Tap once with your finger tip.
♦
To double-left-click: Tap twice with your finger
tip.
♦
To click-and-drag: Tap twice, but hold your
finger on the tablet's surface on the second tap,
then slide your finger tip across the tablet's
surface.
