Touch Pad

The touch pad detects the pressure and movement of your finger to allow
you to move the cursor on the display. Use the touch pad and touch pad
buttons as you would use a mouse.

• To move the cursor, lightly slide your finger over the touch pad.
• To select an object, lightly tap once on the surface of the touch pad or

use your thumb to press the left touch-pad button.

• 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 over the surface.
