Operating Basics
This chapter gives information on using the TouchPad, internal modem, LAN,
wireless LAN, optical media drives, and TV-Out function. It also provides tips
on caring for your computer and on heat dispersal.
Using the TouchPad
To use the TouchPad, simply move your finger tip across it in the direction
you want the on-screen pointer to go.
TouchPad and control buttons
Two buttons below the keyboard are used like the buttons on a mouse
pointer.
Press the left button to select a menu item or to manipulate text or graphics
designated by the pointer. Press the right button to display a menu or other
function depending on the software you are using.
The TouchPad has similar functions to a two-button mouse with a scroll
wheel. For some functions, you can tap the TouchPad instead of pressing a
control button.
