TOUCHPAD
TOUCHPAD BASICS
The touchpad controls the arrow (or 'cursor') on the screen. As you slide
your finger across the touchpad, the cursor will follow this movement.
Press the left or right side of the button located beneath the touchpad to
perform selection and execution functions. These two areas are similar to
the left and right buttons on a mouse. Tapping on the touchpad is the
same as clicking the left side of the button.
Note: The touchpad is sensitive to finger movement; the lighter the
touch, the better the response.
Please keep the touchpad and your fingers dry and clean.
The cursor is controlled by some basic gestures:
• Single-finger slide: Slide a finger across the touchpad to
move the cursor.
• Single-finger tap: 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'.
• Drag: Press and hold the left side of the selection button, or tap twice
anywhere on the touchtap, then slide a second finger across the
touchpad to select all items in an area.
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.
These allow you to control applications with a few simple gestures, such as:
• Swipe in from edge: Access Windows tools
by swiping into the center of the touchpad
from the right, top or left.
• 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 82) 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.
Packard Bell provides Packard Bell 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: Packard Bell 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.
1. From Start, type 'Recovery' and then click Packard Bell Recovery
Management in the list of apps.
Recovery - 13
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
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.
14 - Quick start guide
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.
1. From Start, type 'Recovery' and then click Packard Bell 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.
Recovery - 15
• 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:
• 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,
16 - Quick start guide
see "Reinstalling drivers and applications" on page 17.
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 19.
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 19.
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 19.
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.
If you are reinstalling using Windows and the recovery information stored
on your computer:
• From Start, type 'Recovery' and then click Packard Bell Recovery
Management in the list of apps.
• Click Reinstall Drivers or Applications.
Recovery - 17
• You should see the Contents section of the Packard Bell Resource
Center.
• Click the install icon for the item you want to install, then follow
the onscreen instructions to complete the installation. Repeat
this step for each item you want to reinstall.
If you are reinstalling from a Drivers and Applications Backup on a DVD or
USB drive:
1. Insert the Drivers and Applications Backup into the disc drive or
connect it to a free USB port.
• If you inserted a DVD wait for Packard Bell Resource Center to
start.
• If Packard Bell Resource Center does not start automatically,
press the Windows key + <E>, then double-click on the optical
drive icon.
• If you are using a USB drive, press the Windows key + <E>, then
double-click on the drive that contains the backup. Double-click on
ResourceCenter.
2. You should see the Contents section of the Packard Bell Resource
Center.
3. Click the install icon for the item you want to install, then follow the
onscreen prompts to complete the installation. Repeat this step for
each item you want to reinstall.
18 - Quick start guide
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
press Enter.
Returning to a restore point
1. From Start, type 'Control Panel' and then click Control Panel in the list
of apps.
2. Click System and Security > Action Center, then click Recovery at
the bottom of the window.
3. Click Open System Restore, then Next.
4. Click the latest restore point (at a time when your system worked
correctly), click 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 19.
• If you cannot run Windows, your original hard drive has been completely
re-formatted or you have installed a replacement hard drive, see
"Recovering from a recovery backup" on page 22.

only.
WIRELESS ADAPTER REGULATORY INFORMATION
USA — FCC and FAA
The FCC with its action in ET Docket 96-8 has adopted a safety standard for human
exposure to radio frequency (RF) electromagnetic energy emitted by FCC certified
equipment. The wireless adapter meets the Human Exposure limits found in OET Bulletin
65, supplement C, 2001, and ANSI/IEEE C95.1, 1992. Proper operation of this radio
according to the instructions found in this manual will result in exposure substantially
below the FCC’s recommended limits.
- The following safety precautions should be observed:
Do not touch or move antenna while the unit is transmitting or receiving.
- Do not hold any component containing the radio such that the antenna is very close
or touching any exposed parts of the body, especially the face or eyes, while
transmitting.
- Do not operate the radio or attempt to transmit data unless the antenna is connected;
this behavior may cause damage to the radio.
Use in specific environments:
- The use of wireless adapters in hazardous locations is limited by the constraints
posed by the safety directors of such environments.
