Getting Started 75 Using the TouchPad™ To: Scroll vertically Do the following: Example: Slide your finger along the right edge of the TouchPad in the direction you want to scroll.

(Sample illustration) Vertical scrolling active area (Sample illustration) Horizontal scrolling active area Adjusting TouchPad™ settings While you are typing, the on-screen pointer may seem to move or jump around "by itself" to random locations on the screen. The on-screen pointer may also seem to automatically select text, click buttons, and activate other user interface elements. For help with these problems, try one or more of the following: ❖ Try adjusting your typing technique to avoid accidental contact with the TouchPad™. You may be inadvertently brushing the TouchPad with the heel of your hand as you type. Also, accidental light touches or taps on the TouchPad may select an item or text on the screen, and potentially the item or text may be replaced by the next character you type. ❖ Temporarily disable the TouchPad, so that it does not respond to touch or button presses while you type. See "Disabling or enabling the TouchPad™" on page 76. ❖ Disable the tapping feature. If you disable tapping only, you can still use the TouchPad's control buttons and move the pointer by sliding your finger on the TouchPad. ❖ Adjust the sensitivity of the TouchPad, so that it is less responsive to accidental light taps and lighter finger pressure.
