Cursor Controls

Your computer is equipped with the Dell DualPoint integrated pointing device, which includes two cursor pointing devices that perform traditional 
mouse functions: the

touch pad

and the

track stick

. You can choose to use the touch pad only, the track stick only, or both at the same time. 

DualPoint device software allows you to adjust settings, such as sensitivity, motion, and drag and drop features for both the touch pad and track
stick. 

Using the Touch Pad

The two touch pad buttons, located directly below the touch pad, correspond to the left and right buttons on a mouse.

l

To move the cursor, lightly slide your finger over the smooth sensor area.

l

To select an object, gently tap once on the surface of the touch pad or use your thumb to press the left touch pad button.  

l

To select and move (or drag) an object, position the cursor on the object and tap down-up-down on the touch pad. On the second down
motion, leave your finger on the touch pad and move the selected object by sliding your finger across the surface.

l

To double-click an object, position the cursor on the object and then tap the touch pad or the left touch pad button twice.

Using the Track Stick

NOTE: On an external keyboard, press with the appropriate keys if the External Hot Key option is enabled in the

setup program
