Using the TouchPad

To move the pointer, slide your finger across the TouchPad

surface in the direction you want the pointer to go. Use the

TouchPad buttons as you would the corresponding buttons on an

external mouse. To scroll up and down using the TouchPad

vertical scroll zone, slide your finger up and down over the lines.

✎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 will not activate the scrolling function.

Using the pointing stick controls

(select models only)

To move the pointer, press the pointing stick in the direction

you want the pointer to go. Use the pointing stick buttons as you

would the corresponding buttons on an external mouse.

Using an external mouse

An external USB mouse can be connected to the computer using

one of the USB ports on either side of the computer. A USB

mouse can also be connected to the system using the ports on an

optional docking device (select models only).

Setting TouchPad preferences

Mouse Properties in Windows allows you to customize pointing

device settings, including:

■TouchPad tapping, which enables you to tap the TouchPad

once to select an object or twice to double-click an object

(enabled by default).

■Edge motion, which enables you to continue to scroll even

though your finger has reached the edge of the TouchPad

(disabled by default).

■Button preference, which allows you to switch between

left-hand and right-hand use (right-hand preference is

enabled by default). With some application software, you can

program the center button for special functions.

Other features, such as mouse speed preferences and mouse trails,

are also found in Mouse Properties.

To access Mouse Properties:

»Select Start > Control Panel > Hardware and Sound >

Mouse.

■Press and hold down the fn key, briefly press the second key

Initiate Sleep (fn+f3)

Press fn+f3 to initiate Sleep.

When Sleep is initiated, your work is stored in random access

memory (RAM), the screen is cleared, and power is conserved.

While the computer is in the Sleep state, the power lights blink.

The computer must be on before you can initiate Sleep.

To exit Sleep, briefly press the power button.

✎If a critical battery level occurs while the computer is in the

Sleep state, the computer initiates Hibernation and the

information stored in RAM is saved to the hard drive. The

factory setting for critical battery action is Hibernate, but this

setting can be changed in advanced power settings.

The function of the fn+f3 hotkey can be changed. For example,

you can set the fn+f3 hotkey to initiate Hibernation instead of

Sleep. In all Windows operating system windows, references to

the sleep button apply to the fn+f3 hotkey.
