Touchpad 
The touchpad is a pressure sensitive pointing device that provides all the 
features of a two-button mouse. Its primary function is to move the cursor 
around the screen.

The instructions listed below describe how to use the touchpad. 
1.  First, place your fingers on the keyboard in the normal typing 
position. The touchpad is easily accessible by moving either your 
left or right thumb off the space bar and on to the touchpad. 
2.  Gently move your thumb across the pressure-sensitive touchpad in 
the direction you want the cursor to move. The pad detects the 
change in pressure and moves the cursor in the corresponding 
direction. 
3.  The touchpad offers another method of making selections in a 
software program. It is called double-tapping. This function 
corresponds to double-clicking with a mouse. Once the cursor 
has been moved to the object you want to select, lightly double-
tap the pressure sensitive touchpad. This double-tapping on the 
touchpad will select the desired item and prompt the software to 
perform the related operation. 
4.  The buttons located directly below the touchpad are the same in 
function as those on a two-buttoned mouse. Clicking these buttons 
makes selections, drags objects, or performs a variety of other 
functions depending on the software. To select an object, first move 
the pointer over the object you want to select, and then press the 
left button one time. The functions of these buttons are software 
specific.
