Using pointing devices

NOTE: In addition to the pointing devices included with your computer, you can use an external USB
mouse (purchased separately) by connecting it to one of the USB ports on the computer.

Setting pointing device preferences

Use Mouse Properties in Windows to customize settings for pointing devices, such as button
configuration, click speed, and pointer options.
To access Mouse Properties, select Start > Devices and Printers. Then, right-click the device
representing your computer, and select Mouse settings.

Using the TouchPad

To move the pointer, slide one finger across the TouchPad in the direction you want the pointer to go.
Use the left and right TouchPad buttons like the buttons on an external mouse. To scroll up and down
using the TouchPad vertical scroll zone, slide your finger up or down over the lines.
NOTE: If you are using the TouchPad to move the pointer, you must lift your finger off the TouchPad
before moving it to the scroll zone. Simply sliding your finger from the TouchPad to the scroll zone does
not activate the scrolling function.

Turning the TouchPad on and off

To turn the TouchPad on and off, quickly double-tap the TouchPad off indicator. When the TouchPad
light is amber, the TouchPad is off.
