Getting Started Using the TouchPad™ 79 To: Do the following: Example: Scroll continuously 1 (Circular scrolling) 2 3 4 Begin scrolling vertically or horizontally by sliding your finger along the right or bottom edge of the TouchPad as described above. Without lifting your finger from the TouchPad, start moving your finger in a circular motion on the TouchPad. (Sample Illustration) Circular scrolling To scroll in the opposite direction, (vertically) reverse the direction of the circular motion. To stop scrolling, lift your finger off of the TouchPad. (Sample Illustration) Circular scrolling (horizontally) 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 80. ❖ 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.
