Caring for the Touchpad
The touchpad is pressure sensitive. If not properly cared for, it can be easily damaged. Take note of the
following precautions.
• Make sure the touchpad does not come into contact with dirt, liquids or grease.
• Do not touch the touchpad if your fingers are dirty or wet.
• Do not rest heavy objects on the touchpad or the touchpad buttons.
• Do not scratch the touchpad with your finger nails or any hard objects.
Dragging - Dragging means to pick up an item and place it anywhere on the screen you wish. You can
move the cursor over the item you select, and while keeping the left button depressed, moving the cursor
to the desired location, then release the button. Or, you can simply double-tap on the item and hold while
dragging the item with your fingertip. The following illustrations produce the same results.
(hold left button and slide finger on touchpad) (lightly strike the touchpad twice, sliding finger on touchpad
during second strike)
Dragging-Clicking Dragging-Tapping
NOTE: A software-controlled scrolling function is available after setting up the included
touchpad utility to allow easy Windows or web navigation. Basic functions can be ad-
justed at the Windows control panel to allow comfortable clicking and tapping.
NOTE: The touchpad responds to movement not to force. There is no need to tap
the surface too hard. Tapping too hard does not increase the responsiveness of the
touchpad. The touchpad responds best to light pressure.
