Dragging
There are two ways to drag:
• Move the pointer to the desired location then press down the left
button. While still holding down the left button, move the pointer
to the desired location. Release the button.
• Move the pointer to the desired location. Tap the touchpad twice
quickly as if you were double-clicking, however do not remove
your finger after the second tap. Move the cursor to the desired
location. Lift your finger to finish dragging.
Adjust the touchpad settings by selecting Settings/Control
Panel/Mouse/Buttons. These settings allow you to change the orientation of
the touchpad from right-handed to left-handed, and fine tune the pointer
movement and timing of clicks.
Touchpad Precautions
The Touchpad is a pressure-sensitive device. If not properly cared for, it
can be easily damaged. Please take note of the following precautions.
• Make sure the touchpad does not come into contact with dirt,
liquids or grease.
• Do not touch the touchpad if your fingers are dirty.
• Do not rest heavy objects on the touchpad or the touchpad
buttons.

If you are scrolling through a document, you may find that using the
scrolling button is more restful to your hand than holding down a mouse
button. The scrolling button is located between the touchpad buttons. Push
the top of the button to scroll up in a document or Web page; press the
bottom of the button to scroll down in a document or Web page.
