Using the Touch pad
The touch pad is a touch-sensitive pointing device that provides all the features of a mouse.
Although its operation differs from a mouse, its function is the same – to move the cursor
around the screen.
Please refer to Figure 2-5 and the following explanation on how to use the touch pad.
Getting to Know Your Computer
Figure 2-5 The Touch pad

Getting to Know Your Computer
1. With your fingers on the keyboard in the normal typing position, the touch pad is easily
accessible by moving either your thumb or a finger down on to the touch pad.
2. Gently move your thumb or finger across the touch pad in the direction you want the
cursor to move.
3. By default, the touch pad’s left button is equivalent to the left button on a conventional
two-button mouse. The touch pad’s right button is equivalent to the right mouse button
on a conventional two-button mouse.
Single-clicking/Single-tapping
Single-clicking is a common selection technique of a conventional mouse. The touch pad’s
left and right (mouse) buttons provide the same single-clicking function. A selection
technique unique to the touch pad is single-tapping. Instead of single clicking on the left
mouse button, single-tap on the touch sensitive touch pad to make the selection. When you
tap the touch pad it is the same as clicking the touch pad’s left button.
Double-clicking/Double-tapping
The double-clicking technique found on a conventional mouse is also supported by the
touch pad’s (mouse) buttons. Another selection technique unique to the touch pad is
Double-tapping. Double-tapping allows you to select objects or execute applications.
Instead of double-clicking on the left touch pad button, double-tap on the touch sensitive
touch pad to make the selection. When you double-tap the touch pad, it is the same as
double-clicking the touch pad’s left button.
Touch Pad On-line Help
Your notebook computer’s touch pad is equipped with many advanced features. For more
detailed instructions on using and controlling the touch pad, refer to the On-line Help
provided by Synaptics. To access the On-line Help, do the following:
1. Click the TouchPad Enhancement icon located on the Windows Taskbar.
2. Then click the [Help] button.
Plugging In and Turning On
The first time you use your Compaq Armada 6500 notebook computer you should fully
charge the battery. The battery is fully charged when the Universal AC Adapter is
connected to the system and the Battery Charging LED (Figure 2-1, callout 1) is Off. Refer
to the “Power” section of the Compaq Armada 6500 HTML On-line Help for more
information on battery maintenance and use.
2-10
Getting to Know Your Computer
To power the notebook using the supplied Universal AC Adapter, refer to the following
instructions:
1. Connect the Universal AC Adapter cord to the External Power input port on the
notebook computer (Figure 2-6, step 1). The arrow on the connector should be on top.
2. Plug the power cord into the Universal AC Adapter (Figure 2-6, step 2).
3. Plug the power cord into a working electrical outlet (Figure 2-6, step 3).
4. Flip down the I/O connector cover to support the notebook to create a comfortable
typing angle (Figure 2-6, step 4).
5. After you have plugged the notebook into its power source, press the Suspend/Power
button to turn the notebook computer On (Figure 2-7).
If the notebook does not power up, check the connections between the Universal AC
Adapter and the notebook computer. If the notebook computer still does not power up,
please refer to the chapter on “Troubleshooting.”

Battery Removal and Installation
Your Compaq Armada 6500 is equipped with a Bridge Battery that provides power for up to
four minutes when changing the notebook computer’s main battery. The addition of the
Bridge Battery means you do not have to waste valuable time powering off and rebooting
the system in order to change the main battery. Place the notebook into Suspend, remove
the drained battery and replace it with a fully charged one. Then resume normal operation.
________________________WARNING___________________________
When transporting the battery pack, make sure that the metal
terminals on the battery pack do not come in contact with other
metal surfaces (such as loose coins, paper clips, etc.). An
electrical discharge can occur which may cause injury or
damage.
____________________________________________________________
Replacing the Battery
Please refer to the following instructions and Figures 2-8a, 2-8b, 2-9a and 2-9b for detailed
instructions on changing and replacing the notebook’s main battery. To remove the battery:
