Moving Items on the Screen
You use your PowerBook trackpad to move items and select items on the screen, much as you
use a mouse with a desktop computer. To move the arrow pointer on the screen, slide your
finger across the trackpad. To select, click, or double-click an item on the screen, use the
trackpad button.
The trackpad is sensitive to how quickly you move your finger. To move the pointer a short
distance across the screen, move your finger slowly across the trackpad. The faster you move
your finger, the farther the pointer moves on the screen.
Note: You can set the trackpad to double-click and select items directly instead of using the
button. For more information on configuring the trackpad, look in the Help Center, available
from the Help menu.

Tips for Using the Trackpad
For best results when using the trackpad, keep in mind these tips:
m Use only one finger.
m Use only your finger on the trackpad. Do not use a pen or any other object.
m Keep your finger and the trackpad dry. If the trackpad becomes moist from
humidity or condensation, gently wipe it with a clean cloth before you use it.
m Never use any kind of cleaning solution on the trackpad.
