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
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.

slide in a direction to move the pointer.
