Touchpad
The built-in touchpad is a pointing device that senses move-
ment on its surface. This means the cursor responds as you
move your finger over of the touchpad. It also provides all the
features of a two-button mouse.
How to Use the Touchpad
1. First, place your fingers on the keyboard in the normal typing
position. The touchpad is easily accessible by moving either
your left or right thumb off the space bar and onto the touch-
pad.
2. Gently move your thumb across the pressure-sensitive touch-
pad in the direction you want the cursor to move. The pad
detects the change in pressure and moves the cursor in the
corresponding direction.
3. You can also make selections by double-tapping. This func-
tion corresponds to double-clicking with a mouse. Once the
cursor has been moved to the object you want to select, lightly
double-tap the pressure sensitive touchpad. This double-tap-
ping on the touchpad selects the desired item and prompts the
software to perform the related operation.
Adjusting the Touchpad Settings
For Windows XP:
Begin by clicking on Start, Settings, Control Panel, Mouse,
Buttons.
For Windows Vista:
Click on Start, Control Panel, Hardware and Sound, Mouse.
This will bring you to the Mouse Properties window. Click on
the last tab, Device Settings, then on the Synaptics Touchpad
V6.2 and choose settings to configure the properties for the
touchpad. These settings allow you to change the orientation
from right-handed to left-handed, fine-tune the pointer move-
ment, and configure the timing of double-clicking.
The Synaptics Touchpad V6.2 can also be accessed via the
icon in system tray.
Touchpad Precautions
The touchpad is a pressure-sensitive device. If not properly
cared for, it can be easily damaged. Please take note of the fol-
lowing precautions:

Make sure the touchpad does not into 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 but-
tons

Keep your fingers dry and clean when using the touchpad and
keep the touchpad dry and clean

The touchpad is sensitive to finger movements. It responds best
to light touches. Tapping too hard will not increase the touchpad’s
responsiveness
Touchpad Buttons
The buttons located directly below the touchpad are the same
in function as those on a two-buttoned mouse. Pressing these
buttons makes selections, drags objects, or performs a variety
of other functions depending on the software.
To Select an Object
1. First move the pointer over the object you want to select
2. Press the left button one time. The functions of these buttons
are software specific.
