Touchpad
Touchpad Basics (with fingerprint reader)
The following items show you how to use the touchpad with Acer Bio-Protection fingerprint reader.
‰Move your finger across the touchpad (1) to move the cursor.
‰Press the left (2) and right (4) buttonslocated 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 Acer Bio-Protection fingerprint reader (3) supporting Acer FingerNav 4-way control function (only 
for certain models) to scroll up or down and move left or right a page. This fingerprint reader or button 
mimics your cursor pressing on the right scroll bar of Windows applications.
NOTE1: 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.
NOTE2: By default, vertical and horizontal scrolling is enabled on your touchpad. It can be disabled under 
Mouse settings in Windows Control Panel.
