Operating Your Computer 2-7
Using the Touchpad
CAUTION: Do not use a sharp object such as a pen on the touchpad. Doing so
may damage the touchpad surface.
NOTE: For optimal performance of the touchpad, keep your fingers and the pads
clean and dry. When tapping on the pad, tap lightly. Do not use excessive force.
The touchpad is a pointing device that allows you to communicate with
the computer by controlling the location of the pointer on the screen and
making selection with the buttons.
The touchpad consists of a rectangular pad (work surface) and a left and
right buttons. To use the touchpad, place your forefinger or thumb on the
pad. The rectangular pad acts like a miniature duplicate of your display.
As you slide your fingertip across the pad, the pointer (also called cursor)
on the screen moves accordingly. When your finger reaches the edge of
the pad, simply relocate yourself by lifting the finger and placing it on the
other side of the pad.
