Tips for using the trackpad

For best results when using the trackpad, keep in mind these tips:

m Use your index finger (left or right hand). Use only one finger.

m Use a light touch on the trackpad. Do not press heavily.

m Use only your finger on the trackpad. Do not use a pen or any

other object.

m Extend your PowerBook’s elevation feet when it is placed on a flat

surface. This gives your fingers better access to the keyboard and
makes it easier to use the tip of your finger on the surface of
the trackpad.

m Sometimes humidity or condensation may cause moisture to gather

on the trackpad. If this happens, gently wipe the trackpad with a
clean cloth before you use it.

m Use the trackpad to click and drag items by turning on these options

in the Trackpad control panel. For instructions, see “How do I use
the trackpad to click and drag?” in the “Setting Options” topic area
of Macintosh Guide, available in the Guide (h) menu. (You can
learn about Macintosh Guide in Chapter 2 of this manual.)
