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 vertically

Slide your finger along the right edge of the 
TouchPad in the direction you want to scroll. 
Repeat to scroll a longer distance.

Scroll horizontally

Slide your finger along the bottom edge of 
the TouchPad in the direction you want to 
scroll. Repeat to scroll a longer distance.
