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.

Note: Please keep the touchpad and your fingers dry and clean.

Touchpad basics (for models with separate

buttons)

The following items show you how to use the touchpad with two buttons.

Move your finger across the touchpad to move the cursor.

Press the left and right 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.

English

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 harder will not

increase the touchpad's responsiveness.

Note: By default, vertical and horizontal scrolling is enabled on your

touchpad. It can be disabled under Mouse settings in Windows

Control Panel.

Touchpad basics (for models with integrated

buttons)

Note: The touchpad is sensitive to finger movement; the lighter the

touch, the better the response. Tapping harder will not increase the

touchpad's responsiveness.

The cursor is controlled by some basic gestures:

Single-finger slide: Slide a finger across the touchpad to move the

cursor.

Single-finger press or tap: Press the touchpad down, or lightly tap

the touchpad with your finger, to perform a 'click', which will select

or start an item. Quickly repeat the tap to perform a double tap or

'double click'.

Single-finger press or tap in the bottom-right corner: Press the bottom right

corner of the touchpad to perform a 'right click'. In the Start screen, this will

toggle the app commands, in most apps this will open a context menu related to

the selected item.

Drag: Press and hold the bottom left corner of the touchpad, or tap twice

anywhere on the touchtap, then slide a finger across the touchpad to select all

items in an area.

English

Touchpad gestures

Windows 8 and many applications support touchpad gestures that use one or more

fingers.

Note: Support for touchpad gestures depends on the active

application.

Swipe in from right edge: Toggle the charms.

Swipe in from top edge: Toggle the app commands.

Swipe in from left edge: Switch to the previous app.

Two-finger slide: Swiftly scroll through web pages, documents and

playlists by placing two fingers on the touchpad and moving both in

any direction.

Two-finger pinch: Zoom in and out of photos, maps and

documents with a simple finger-and-thumb gesture.

Recovery

If you are having trouble with your computer, and the frequently asked questions

(see page 52) do not help, you can 'recover' your computer - i.e. return it to an earlier

state.

This section describes the recovery tools available on your computer. Acer provides

Acer Recovery Management, which allows you to create a recovery backup, a drivers

and applications backup, and to start recovery options, either using Windows tools, or

the recovery backup.

Note: Acer Recovery Management is only available with a pre-

installed Windows operating system.

Important: We recommend that you create a Recovery Backup and

Drivers and Applications Backup and as soon as possible.

In certain situations a full recovery will require a USB recovery

backup.

Creating a recovery backup

To reinstall from a USB storage drive, you must first create a recovery backup. The

recovery backup includes the entire original contents of your computer’s hard drive,

including Windows and all factory-loaded software and drivers. Using this backup

will restore your computer to the same state as when you purchased it, while giving

you an option to retain all settings and personal data.

Note:

Make sure you have a USB drive with a capacity of at least

16 GB.

8

English

1. From Start, type 'Recovery' and then click Acer Recovery Management in the

list of apps.

2. Click Create Factory Default Backup. The Recovery Drive window opens.

Make sure Copy contents from the recovery partition to the recovery drive is

selected. This provides the most complete and safest recovery backup.

3. Plug in the USB drive then click Next.

Make sure your USB drive has enough capacity before continuing. The

recovery backup requires at least 16 GB of storage

9

English

4. You will be shown the backup progress on the screen.

5. Follow the process until it completes.

6. After creating the recovery backup, you can choose to delete the recovery

information on your computer. If you delete this information, you can only use the

USB recovery backup to restore your computer, if you lose or erase the USB

drive, you cannot restore your computer.

7. Unplug the USB drive and label it clearly.

Important: Write a unique, descriptive label on the backup, such as

'Windows Recovery Backup'. Make sure you keep the backup in a

safe place that you will remember.

Creating a drivers and applications backup

To create a Drivers and Applications Backup, that contains the factory-loaded

software and drivers needed by your computer, you may use either a USB storage

drive or, if your computer features a DVD recorder, one or more blank recordable

DVDs.

10

English

1. From Start, type 'Recovery' and then click Acer Recovery Management in the

list of apps.

2. Click Create Drivers and Applications Backup.

Plug in the USB drive or insert a blank DVD into the optical drive, then click Next.

If you are using a USB drive, make sure your USB drive has enough capacity

before continuing.

If using DVDs, it will also show the number of blank, recordable discs you will

need to complete the recovery discs. Make sure that you have the required

number of identical, blank discs.

3. Click Start to copy files.You will be shown the backup progress on the screen.

4. Follow the process until it completes:

11

English

If you are using optical discs, the drive ejects each disc as it completes

burning it. Remove the disc from the drive and mark it with a permanent

marker.

If multiple discs are required, insert a new disc when prompted, then click OK.

Continue until the process is complete.

If you are using a USB drive, unplug the drive and label it clearly.

Important: Write a unique, descriptive label on each backup, such as

'Drivers and Applications Backup'. Make sure you keep the backup in

a safe place that you will remember.

Recovering your system

To recover your system:

1. Perform minor fixes.

If only one or two items of software or hardware have stopped working correctly,

the problem may be solved by reinstalling the software or the device drivers.

To reinstall software and drivers that were pre-installed at the factory, see

"Reinstalling drivers and applications" on page 11.

For instructions on reinstalling software and drivers that were not pre-installed,

see that product’s documentation or support Web site.

2. Revert to a previous system condition.

If reinstalling software or drivers does not help, then the problem may be solved

by returning your system to a previous state when everything was working

correctly.

For instructions, see "Returning to an earlier system snapshot" on page 13.

3. Reset your operating system.

If nothing else has solved the problem and you want to reset your system, but

keep your user information, see "Returning your system to its factory

condition" on page 14.

4. Reset your system to its factory condition.

If nothing else has solved the problem and you want to reset your system to

factory condition, see "Returning your system to its factory condition" on

page 14.

Reinstalling drivers and applications

As a troubleshooting step, you may need to reinstall the applications and device

drivers that came pre-installed on your computer from the factory. You can reinstall

using either your hard drive or the backup you have created.

Other applications - If you need to reinstall software that did not come pre-

installed on your computer, you need to follow that software’s installation

instructions.

New device drivers - If you need to reinstall device drivers that did not come pre-

installed on your computer, follow the instructions provided with the device.

Returning to an earlier system snapshot

Microsoft System Restore periodically takes a 'snapshot' of your system settings and

saves them as restore points. In most cases of hard-to-resolve software problems,

you can return to one of these restore points to get your system running again.

Windows automatically creates an additional restore point each day, and also each

time you install software or device drivers.

Note: For more information about using Microsoft System Restore,

from Start, type 'Help' and then click Help and Support in the list of

apps. Type 'Windows system restore' in the Search Help box, then

Next, then Finish.

5. A confirmation window appears; click Yes. Your system is restored using the

restore point you specified. This process may take several minutes, and may

restart your computer.

Returning your system to its factory condition

If your computer experiences problems that are not recoverable by other methods,

you may need to reinstall everything to return your system to its factory condition.

You can recover from either your hard drive or the recovery backup you have

created.

If you can still run Windows and have not deleted the recovery partition, see

"Recovering from Windows" on page 14.

formatted or you have installed a replacement hard drive, see "Recovering from

a recovery backup" on page 16.

Windows and all software and drivers that were pre-installed on your system. If you

can access important files on your hard drive, back them up now. See "Restore

Factory Settings with Acer Recovery Management" on page 15.

Customized Restore will attempt to retain your files (user data) but will reinstall all

software and drivers. Software installed since you purchased your PC will be

Acer Backup Manager

Note: This feature is only available on certain models.

Acer Backup Manager is a utility that enables you to do a variety of backup functions

each accomplished in only three simple steps. You can even set these functions to

automatically recur as often as your like.

To start Acer Backup Manager in Windows 8, simply start typing "Backup Manager".

Alternatively, in Desktop mode, select Acer Backup Manager. This opens the

Welcome screen; from this screen you can select the type of backup you’d like to

create.

Back Up My Files: Select files to back up.

Image My Drive: Create a backup file for the entire drive. You can burn this file

to a DVD, save them to another drive on your computer*, or save them to

removable media (i.e. a flash drive) to restore your computer at a later time.

Migrate My Files: Allows you to copy files to a USB device so that you can

migrate files from your old computer to your new one or any other computer

with Acer Backup Manager.
