in this generic service guide. In such cases, please contact your regional offices or the responsible
personnel/channel to provide you with further technical details.

2. Please note WHEN ORDERING FRU PARTS, that you should check the most up-to-date information
available on your regional web or channel. If, for whatever reason, a part number change is made, it will
not be noted in the printed Service Guide. For ACER-AUTHORIZED SERVICE PROVIDERS, your Acer

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.

Touchpad Basics

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

1 23

• Move your finger across the touchpad (1) to move the cursor.

• Press the left (2) and right (3) 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.

menu

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 too hard 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.

Chapter 1 9

Using the Keyboard

The keyboard has full-sized keys and an embedded numeric keypad, separate cursor, lock, Windows, function
and special keys.

Lock Keys and Embedded Numeric Keypad

The keyboard has three lock keys which you can toggle on and off.

Lock Key Description

Caps Lock When Caps Lock is on, all alphabetic characters typed are in uppercase.

Num Lock

<Fn> + <F11>

Scroll Lock

<Fn> + <F12>

The embedded numeric keypad functions like a desktop numeric keypad. It is indicated by small characters
located on the upper right corner of the keycaps. To simplify the keyboard legend, cursor-control key symbols
are not printed on the keys.

When Num Lock is on, the embedded keypad is in numeric mode. The keys function as a
calculator (complete with the arithmetic operators +, -, *, and /). Use this mode when you
need to do a lot of numeric data entry. A better solution would be to connect an external
keypad.

Note: <Fn>+<F11> only for certain models.

When Scroll Lock is on, the screen moves one line up or down when you press the up or
down arrow keys respectively. Scroll Lock does not work with some applications.

System Utilities

BIOS Setup Utility

The BIOS Setup Utility is a hardware configuration program built into your system’s BIOS (Basic Input/Output
System). Since most systems are already properly configured and optimized, there is no need to run this utility.
The BIOS setup utility stores basic settings for your system. You will need to run this utility if you encounter
configuration problems. Refer to Chapter 4 Troubleshooting when problem arises.
