The touchpad is pressure sensitive and contains no moving parts; therefore, mechanical failures can be avoided. A device driver is still required for working with some application software. Do not use any objects in place of your finger to operate the touchpad or else damage may occur to the touchpad's surface. Cursor Movement Right Click Left Click Using the Touchpad Light pressure with the tip of your finger is all that is required to operate the touchpad. Because the touchpad is electrostatic sensitive, objects cannot be used in place of your fingers. The touchpad's primary function is to move the cursor around or select items displayed on the screen with the use of your fingertip instead of a standard desktop mouse. The following illustrations demonstrate proper use of the touchpad.

Basic functions can be adjusted at the Windows control panel to allow comfortable clicking and tapping. Caring for the Touchpad · · · · The touchpad is pressure sensitive. Make sure the touchpad does not come into contact with dirt, liquids or grease. Do not scratch the touchpad with your finger nails or any hard objects. Tapping too hard does not increase the responsiveness of the touchpad.
