Using the Touchpad
The touchpad is an easy way to control the cursor with your finger. Lightly glide your finger across the
touchpad and the cursor follows.
To use the touchpad, you can:
•
Single tap the touchpad, or single click on the left button, equivalent to a single click of the primary
mouse button.
•
Double tap the touchpad, or double click on the left button, equivalent to a double click of the primary
mouse button.
•
Click and hold, then drag your finger across the touchpad, equivalent to a click and drag of the primary
mouse button.
Note
The illustrations, colours and pictures shown are for illustration purposes. They may vary slightly from
country to country and the unit you purchase. Please refer to the finished product for final configurations.
Specifications and model names are subject to change without notice.
If you find the double tap difficult to use, go to the next section for general directions about adjusting the
touchpad properties.
Note
If you install another mouse driver over the shipping default, the double-tap capability may be lost.
Touchpad Tips
Follow these basic ergonomic tips while working:
•
Use a light touch on the touchpad surface.
•
Set up the notebook with your keyboard and touchpad at a comfortable height. Keep your forearms
parallel to the floor. Your wrists should be relaxed and straight.
•
While using the keyboard and touchpad, keep your shoulders and arms as relaxed as possible.
•
Take regular breaks from the computer to rest your eyes. Perform stretching exercises to relax your
fingers, hands, wrists, forearms and shoulders.
