    Touchpad
    The built-in touchpad is a pointing device that senses movement on its surface. This means the cursor 
    responds as you move your finger on the surface of the touchpad. The central location on the palmrest 
    provides optimum comfort and suuport.
    Touchpad basics
    The following items teach 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 on the edge of the touchpad to do selection and execution 
    functions. These two buttons are similar to the left and right buttons on a mouse. Tapping on the touchapd is 
    the same as clicking the left button.
    * Use the 4-wa 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. 
    						
    							18Aspire 3630
    NOTE: Keep your fingers dry and clean when using the touchpad. Also keep the touchpad dry and clean. The 
    touchpad is sensitive to finger movement, hence, the lighter the touch, the better the response. Taping 
    harder will not increase the touchpad’s responsiveness.
