Using the Notebook PC

Pointing Device

The Notebook PC's integrated touchpad pointing
device is fully compatible with all two/three-but-
ton 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.
IMPORTANT! DO NOT use any objects
in place of your finger to operate the
touchpad or else damage may occur to
the touchpad's surface.

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 pointer around
or select items displayed on the screen with the
use of your fingertip instead of a standard desktop
mouse. The following illustrations demonstrate
proper use of the touchpad.

Moving The Pointer

Place your finger in the center of the touchpad and
slide in a direction to move the pointer.
