Using the Pavilion Notebook PC Operating the Computer To use the touch pad The touch pad, a touch-sensitive pointing device that controls the motion and speed of the pointer on the screen, is built into your computer. Note 1. Move a thumb or finger across the touch pad in the direction you want the pointer to move. 2. Use the click buttons, which function like the left and right buttons on a mouse, to make your selection. You can also tap on the touch pad instead of clicking a button. • To open an application, move the pointer over the icon, then press the left button twice rapidly. • To make menu selections, move the pointer to the item and press the left button once. • To open the shortcut menu for an item, move the pointer over the item and click the right button. • To drag an item, move the pointer over the item. Press and hold the left button while you move the pointer to the new location. Release the button. To customize the operation of the touch pad (and an external PS/2 or serial mouse, if installed), double-click the Synaptics Touch Pad icon to access Mouse Properties; you will find the icon in the taskbar, toward the lower right corner of your screen. Select the tab corresponding to the characteristics you want to configure, including: • Button configuration for right-handed or left-handed operation (Button tab for mouse, Button Actions tab for touch pad). • Double-click speed, pointer speed, and pointer trail. • Click sensitivity. The touch pad is inactive when an external mouse is installed. User's Guide 29
