Using the Touchpad  
Read the following description to learn how to use the touchpad:  
n
Positioning and Moving  
Place your finger on the touchpad (usually using the forefinger), and the  
rectangular pad will act as a miniature duplicate of your display. When  
you move your fingertip across the pad, the cursor on the screen will move  
simultaneously in the same direction. When your finger reaches the edge  
of the pad, lift your finger and replace it on a proper location of the  
touchpad.  
n
Point and Click  
When you have moved and placed the cursor over an icon, a menu item or  
a command that you want to execute, simply tap slightly on the touchpad or  
press the left button to select. This procedure, called as point and click is  
the basics of operating your Notebook. Unlike the traditional pointing  
device such as the mouse, the whole touchpad can act as a left button, so  
that your each tap on the touchpad is equivalent to pressing the left button.  
Tapping twice more rapidly on the touchpad is to execute a double-click.  
Drag and Drop  
n
You can move files or objects in your Notebook by using drag-and-drop.  
To do so, place the cursor on the desired item and slightly tap twice on the  
touchpad, and then keep your fingertip in contact with the touchpad on the  
second tap. Now, you can drag the selected item to the desired location  
by moving your finger on the touchpad, and then lift your finger from the  
touchpad to drop the item into place. Alternately, you can press and hold  
the left button when you select an item, and then move your finger to the

the two buttons. In addition, you can change the size, shape, moving  
speed and other advanced features of the cursor on the screen.

driver in your Windows operating system. The Mouse Properties in
