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.

The following items show you how to use the

touchpad with Acer Bio-Protection fingerprint

reader.

• Move your finger across the touchpad (1)

to move the cursor.

• Press the left (2) and right (4) buttons

located beneath the touchpad to perform

Note: Illustrations for reference only. The exact configuration of

your PC depends on the model purchased.

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.
