Touchpad Basics
The following teaches you how to use the touchpad:
Move your finger across the touchpad (2) to move the cursor. 
Press the left (1) and right (4) 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.
Use the 4-way scroll (3) button to scroll up or down and move left or right a page. This button mimics your 
cursor pressing on the right scroll bar of Windows applications. 
						

							Chapter 113
NOTE: When using the touchpad, keep it - and your infers - dry and clean. The touchpad is sensitive to finger 
movements; hence, the lighter the touch, the better the response. Tapping too hard will not increase the 
touchpad’s responsiveness.
