Touch Pad (Advaced)

Wheel mode operations (almost identical

to the case of using the Microsoft®

IntelliMouseTM for scroll, zoom, etc., op-

erations) are possible for Microsoft®wheel

function-compatible applications.

Microsoft®IntelliMouseTM is a mouse-type

device that, in addition to the two conven-

tional buttons, incorporates a wheel able

to rotate forwards/backwards.

Use the touch pad to move the cursor on the display and perform normal computer

operations.

For instructions on how to handle the touch pad, refer to page 9.

The touch pad has the following two modes of operation.

Scrolling Area

Microsoft®IntelliMouseTM Wheel Mode

(Setting at the time of purchase)

Only scroll operation is possible for ap-

plications not compatible with the Mi-

crosoft®wheel function.

Even for applications compatible with the

Microsoft®wheel function, there are

cases where only vertical scrolling or

only horizontal scrolling is possible in this

mode.

Scrolling side-to-side

Possible when a check mark

is added for [Horizontal].

Scrolling up/down

:Typical mouse operations use this area.

When no check mark is added for [IntelliMouse Wheel mode], [Horizontal] and

[Vertical] of [Scroll Configuration], the entire surface can be used for typical mouse

operations.

Scrolling Area

Scrolling up/down

Possible when a check

mark is added for

Your computer is equipped with a touchscreen display allowing you to perform the

same operations as the touch pad or mouse by touching the surface of the display with

your finger. (The following explanation gives one example (for the default settings).

The operation settings can be changed in [Start] - [Programs] - [Updd] - [Settings].)

Handling the Touchscreen

Do not place any object on the surface or press down forcefully with sharp-pointed

objects (i.e. nails), hard objects that can leave marks (i.e. pencils and ball point

pen).

Do not apply pressure within 5 mm of the perimeter of the display panel. The

cursor may move to the edge of the display.

Do not operate the computer when such things as dust are on the screen. Do not

allow contact with substances that could dirty the touchscreen, such as oil. The

cursor may not work properly in such cases.
