will not respond if touched by anything other than your fingers, such as a stylus or pencil.

3. The touchpad offers another method of making selections in a software program. It is called

double-tapping. This function 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-tapping on the touchpad will select the desired item and prompt the software to

perform the related operation.

4. The left and right buttons located directly below the touchpad are the same in function as those on

a two-buttoned mouse. Clicking these buttons makes selections, drags objects, or performs a

variety of other functions depending on the software. To select an object, first move the pointer

over the object you want to select, and then press the left button one time. The functions of these

buttons are software specific.

Double-clicking

Double-clicking is a common technique for selecting objects or launching programs from icons.

Once you have moved the pointer over the object you wish to select, rapidly press the left button

two times. This action is commonly referred to as “double-clicking” an object.

Dragging

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

If not properly cared for the touchpad can be easily damaged. Please take note of the following

recautions.

Do not rest heavy objects on the touchpad or the touchpad buttons.

General Guidelines

The mobile computer uses a Liquid Crystal Display (LCD), which is the type of screen used on many

notebook and sub-notebook computers. One problem experienced on computers with an LCD display,

especially in cold environments, is that the cursor seems to “disappear” whenever the mouse is moved

quickly. To improve the visibility of the mouse cursor, you should use a slow or medium

speed/sensitivity level.

You can combine a higher level of acceleration with a slow or medium speed/sensitivity level. This will
