TouchPad Basics

The following items show you how to use the TouchPad:

1

•Move your finger across the TouchPad (1) to move the cursor.

•Press the left (2) and right (3) 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.

Function	Left Button (2)	Right Button (3)	Main TouchPad (1)
Execute	Quickly click twice.		Tap twice (at the same speed
			as double-clicking a mouse
			button).
Select	Click once.		Tap once.
Drag	Click and hold, then use		Tap twice (at the same speed
	finger on the TouchPad to		as double-clicking a mouse
	drag the cursor.		button); rest your finger on
			the TouchPad on the second
			tap and drag the cursor.
Access		Click once.
context menu

NOTE: When using the TouchPad, keep it — and your fingers — dry and clean. The TouchPad is sensitive to finger movement; hence, the lighter the touch, the better the response. Tapping too hard will not increase the TouchPad’s responsiveness.

Using the Keyboard

This computer has a close-to-full-sized keyboard and an embedded numeric keypad, separate cursor, lock, function and special keys.

Lock Keys and embedded numeric keypad

The keyboard has three lock keys which you can toggle on and off.

Lock key	Description
Caps Lock	When Caps Lock is on, all alphabetic characters typed are in uppercase.
Num Lock	When Num Lock is on, the embedded keypad is in numeric mode. The keys
<Fn> + <F11>	function as a calculator (complete with the arithmetic operators +, -, *, and /). Use
	this mode when you need to do a lot of numeric data entry. A better solution
	would be to connect an external keypad.
Scroll Lock <Fn> +	When Scroll Lock is on, the screen moves one line up or down when you press
<F12>	the up or down arrow keys respectively. Scroll Lock does not work with some
	applications.

The embedded numeric keypad functions like a desktop numeric keypad. It is indicated by small characters located on the upper right corner of the keycaps. To simplify the keyboard legend, cursor-control key symbols are not printed on the keys.

Desired access	Num Lock on	Num Lock off
Number keys on	Type numbers in a normal manner.

				functions:
				< >: Open or close the Start menu
				< > + <D>: Display the desktop
				< > + <E>: Open Windows Explore
				< > + <F>: Search for a file or folder
				< > + <L>: Lock your computer (if you are connected to a network domain), or
				switch users (if you’re not connected to a network domain)
				< > + <M>: Minimizes all windows
				< > + <R>: Open the Run dialog box
				< > + <U>: Open Ease of Access Center
				< > + <BREAK>: Display the System Properties dialog box
				< > + <TAB>: Cycle through programs on the taskbar
				<CTRL> + < > + <F>: Search for computers (if you are on a network)
				Note: Depending on your edition of Windows 7, some shortcuts may not function as
				described.
			Application	This key has the same effect as clicking the right mouse button; it opens the
			key	application’s context menu.
