Using the Notebook PC
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.
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.

Using the Touchpad
Light pressure with the tip of your finger is all that is
required to operate the touchpad. Because the touch-
pad 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.
