Toshiba PTME3U050043 User Manual

While you are typing, the on-screen pointer may seem to move or 
jump around “by itself” to random locations on the screen. The 
on-screen pointer may also seem to automatically select text, click 
buttons, and activate other user interface elements. For help with 
these problems, try one or more of the following:

❖

Try adjusting your typing technique to avoid accidental contact 
with the TouchPad™. You may be inadvertently brushing the 
TouchPad with the heel of your hand as you type. Also, 
accidental light touches or taps on the TouchPad may select an 
item or text on the screen, and potentially the item or text may 
be replaced by the next character you type. 

❖

Temporarily disable the TouchPad, so that it does not respond 
to touch or button presses while you type. See 

❖

Disable the tapping feature. If you disable tapping only, you 
can still use the TouchPad’s control buttons and move the 
pointer by sliding your finger on the TouchPad.

❖

Adjust the sensitivity of the TouchPad, so that it is less 
responsive to accidental light taps and lighter finger pressure.

Scroll continuously 
(Circular scrolling)

1

Begin scrolling vertically or horizontally 
by sliding your finger along the right or 
bottom edge of the TouchPad as 
described above.

2

Without lifting your finger from the 
TouchPad, start moving your finger in a 
circular motion on the TouchPad. 

3

To scroll in the opposite direction, 
reverse the direction of the circular 
motion.

4

To stop scrolling, lift your finger off of 
the TouchPad.
