Using the Touchpad
NOTE:
•
The touchpad is sensitive to finger movements; hence, the lighter the touch, the better the
response. Tapping too hard will not increase the touchpad sensitiveness.
•
When using the touchpad, keep the touchpad and your fingers dry and clean.
Below is a description of basic touchpad operations:
