Pointing devices and keyboard

Using pointing devices

Using the TouchPad

To move the pointer, slide your finger across the TouchPad surface in the direction you want the
pointer to go. Use the TouchPad buttons like the corresponding buttons on an external mouse. To
scroll up and down using the TouchPad vertical scroll zone, slide your finger up or down over the
lines.

NOTE:

For more information on identifying the TouchPad components, refer to the “TouchPad”

section earlier in this guide.

Connecting an external mouse

You can connect an external USB mouse to the computer using one of the USB ports on the
computer.

Using the keyboard

Using the action keys

Action keys are customized actions that are assigned to specific keys at the top of the keyboard.

To use an action key, press and hold this key to activate the assigned function.

NOTE:

Depending on the program you are using, pressing

fn

and one of the action keys opens a

specific shortcut menu within that program.

NOTE:

The action key feature is enabled at the factory. You can disable this feature in Setup Utility

and revert back to pressing the

fn

key and one of the action keys to activate the assigned function.

Refer to the “Setup Utility” chapter for additional information.
