The Push Pad
Using the Push Pad
The Push Pad (also known as the pointing device) moves the
cursor around the screen. The Select button is located just
below the Push Pad. As a reminder, the button on the left is
labeled Select with a removable label.
When you press and hold down the top edge of the Push Pad,
the cursor moves toward the top of the screen. When you press
and hold down the bottom edge of the Push Pad, the cursor
moves toward the bottom of the screen. Corresponding
actions occur when you hold down the left, the right, or a
diagonal part of the Push Pad.
Pressing the Push Pad harder along one edge makes the cursor
move more rapidly across the screen. Pressing the Push Pad
lightly on the edge moves the cursor more slowly.
With practice, you’ll soon learn how to move the cursor as
easily as you move your fingers.
The Push Pad
The most obvious
difference between the
Appliance keyboard and a
typewriter is the pad and
buttons located below the
space bar. These items are
known as the Push Pad and
the Select buttons.
The Push Pad is used to
move the cursor, or pointer,
around the screen. You had
some practice using the
Push Pad when you had
your first orientation tour
and registered your Home
Internet Appliance. It won't
be long before using the
Push Pad becomes second
nature.
The Select button is the
button you will use the
most. Pressing the Select
button is usually referred to
as clicking. Press this
button to select a hyperlink.
