Windows Keys
The keyboard has two keys that perform Windows-specific functions.
Hotkeys
Using the Fn key with another key creates a hot key, providing a quick and convenient method for controlling 
various functions.
To use a hot key, first hold down the Fn key. Next, press the second key  in combination. Finally, release both 
keys.

To u c h p a d
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.

24Chapter 1
NOTE: Keep your fingers, as well as the surface of the touchpad dry and clean. The touchpad is sensitive to 
your finger movements: the lighter the touch, the better the response. Tapping hard will not increase the 
touchpad’s responsiveness. 

Chapter 125
Launch Keys
Located at the top of the keyboard are four buttons. These buttons are called launch keys. They are 
designated as key 1, key 2, key 3 and key 4. By default, key 1 is used to launch the email application and key 
2 is used to launch the Internet browser. Keys 3 and 4 start the Launch Manager application. All four launch 
keys can be set by the user. 
To see the launch keys, run the Acer Launch Manger.
