10Chapter 1 Touchpad basics (with two-click buttons) The following items show you how to use the touchpad with two-click buttons. •Move your finger across the touchpad (1) to move the cursor. •Press the left (2) and right (3) buttons located beneath the touchpad to perform selection and execution functions. These two buttons are similar to the left and right buttons on a mouse. Tapping on the touchpad is the same as clicking the left button. NOTE: Illustrations for reference only. The exact configuration of your PC depends on the model purchased. NOTE: When using the touchpad, keep it — and your fingers — dry and clean. The touchpad is sensitive to finger movement; hence, the lighter the touch, the better the response. Tapping harder will not increase the touchpads responsiveness. NOTE: By default, vertical and horizontal scrolling is enabled on your touchpad. It can be disabled under Mouse settings in Windows Control Panel.
