Operating Basics

To use a Pinch Zoom gesture:
1. Place two fingers down on the TouchPad surface.
2. Slide the fingers further apart to zoom in or slide the fingers closer 

together to zoom out. For the best zooming experience, use the tips of 

your fingers.

The Rotating features provide convenient gestures for rotating photos and 

other objects.

The Momentum feature delivers smooth, fast, trackball-like mouse 

movement. One quick flick of the finger on the TouchPad surface can move 

the cursor across the entire computer screen. Momentum reduces the 

repetitive motion and fatigue associated with moving the cursor long 

distances, while providing a smooth and natural feel similar to using a 

trackball. Momentum is ideal for Real Time Strategy (RTS) games, First 

Person Shooter (FPS) games, and Role Playing Games (RPG).
The two buttons below the Touch Pad are used like the buttons on a 

standard mouse - press the left button to select a menu item or to 

manipulate text or graphics designated by the pointer, and press the right 

button to display a menu or other function depending on the software you 

are using.

This product has a fingerprint utility installed for the purpose of enrolling 

and recognizing fingerprints. By enrolling the ID and password to the 

fingerprint authentication device, it is no longer necessary to input the 

password from the keyboard. Just by swiping the finger against the 

fingerprint sensor, the following functions will be enabled:

■

Logon to Windows and access a security-enabled homepage through 

IE (Internet Explorer).

■

Files and folders can be encrypted/decrypted and third party access to 

them prevented.

■

Disable the password-protected screen-saver when returning from 

power-saving (Sleep) mode.

■

Pre-OS feature and Single Sign-On feature.

■

Authentication of the User Password and Hard Disk Password when 

booting up the computer.
