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. •Use Acer Bio-Protection fingerprint reader (3) supporting Acer FingerNav 4-way control function (only for certain models) or the 4-way scroll (3) button (only for certain models) to scroll up or down and move left or right a page.
