Chapter 119 Touchpad The build-in touchpad is a pointing device that senses movement on its surface. This means the cursor responds as you move your finger across the surface of the touchpad. The touchpad is located in the middle of the palm rest area, providing maximum comfort and efficiency. Touchpad Basics TMove your finger across the touchpad to move the cursor. TPress 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 TUse 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. 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 touchpad’s responsiveness.

Using the Keyboard
The full-sized keyboard includes an embedded numeric keypad, separate cursor keys, two Windows keys and
twelve function keys.
Lock keys and Embedded Numeric Keypad
The keyboard has four lock keys which you can toggle on and off.
The computer features three lock keys, each with its own status indicator light.
The embedded numeric keypad functions like a desktop numeric keypad. It is indicated by small characters
located on the upper right corner of the keycaps. To simplify the keyboard legend, cursor-control key symbols
are not printed on the keys.
Lock KeyDescription
Caps Lock When Caps Lock is on, all alphabetic characters are typed in
uppercase. Toggle on and off by pressing the Caps Lock key on the
left side of the keyboard.
Num lock
When Num Lock is on, the embedded keyboard is in numeric mode.
The keys function as a calculator(complete with the arithmetic
operators+,-,*, and /). Use this mode when you need to do a lot of
numeric data entry. A better solution would be to connect and
external keypad.
Scroll lock
When Scroll Lock is on, the screen moves one line up or down when
you press the up or down arrow keys respectively. Scroll Lock does
not work with some applications.
