Touchpad
The built-in touchpad is a pointing device that senses movement on its surface. This means the cursor
responds as you move your finger across the surface of the touchpad. The central location on the palmrest
provides optimum comfort and support.
Touchpad Basics
The following teaches you how to use the touchpad:
K Move your finger across the touchpad (2) to move the cursor.
K Press the left (1) and right (4) buttons located beneath the touchpad to perform selection and execution
functions. These two buttons are similar to the left and right buttons on a mouse. Tapping on the
touchpad is the same as clicking the left button.
K Use the 4-way scroll (3) button (for selected models) or Acer BioProtect fingerprint reader (3) supporting
Acer FingerNav 4-way control function (for selected models) to scroll up or down and move left or right a
page. This button or fingerprint reader mimics your cursor pressing on the right scroll bar of Windows
applications.
