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 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.
