Touchpad The built-in touchpad is a PS/2-compatible pointing device that senses movement on its surface. This cursor responds to your finger movements on the touchpad. In addition, the two click buttons provide the same functionality as a computer mouse, while the scroll key enables easy up and down scrolling in documents and web pages. The touchpad is located in the middle of the palm rest area, providing maximum comfort and efficiency. Touchpad Basics Use the touchpad as follows: T Slide your finger over the surface of the touchpad to control the movement of the cursor. Tap the touchpad to perform selection and execution functions. T Press the left (1) and right (3) buttons to perform selection and execution functions, just as you would use the buttons on a computer mouse. T Use the scroll key (2) to scroll through long documents and web pages. Press the top of the key to scroll up, and the bottom to scroll down; left to scroll left, and right to scroll right.
