Chapter 123 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. To u c h p a d B a s i c s Use the touchpad as follows: TSlide your finger over the surface of the touchpad to control the movement of the cursor. Tap the touchpad to perform selection and execution functions. TPress the left (1) and right (3) buttons to perform selection and execution functions, just as you would use the buttons on a computer mouse. TUse 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. FunctionLeft ButtonRigh ButtonTa p Execute Click twice quicklyTap twice (at the same speed as double-clicking the mouse button) Select Click once Tap once Drag Click and hold.

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.
