2. Flat Point

The main operations for this computer use the flat point. This item explains the flat point.
The flat point is a convenient pointing device that moves the mouse pointer with your fingertips. It
comprises the operating surface and the two buttons in front of it. The operating surface has the
same function as the ball section of a mouse. You move the mouse pointer on the screen by moving
your fingertip up, down, left, and right along the operating surface. You can also carr y out such
operations as clicking, double clicking, pointing, and dragging by tapping lightly on the operating
surface. The left and right buttons correspond to the buttons the mouse. Their functions depend on
the application software.

Operating surface

Left button

Right button

Critical Point

There is a slight difference in a result of pointing operation among operators because of the
operation principle of the flat point. Given an example, pointing operation is influenced by
moisture of the operator’ s fingertips (dry or wet fingers).
If the operating surface is dirty or moist because of high humidity , etc., it may cause malfunction
of the operating surface. If it occurs, wipe down the operating surface with dry soft cloth to
remove the moisture and dirt. If the operating surface is badly soiled, wipe out the dirt with soft
cloth moistened with a neutral detergent thinned with water.
When you intend to use an optional mouse, access the “Keyboard/Mouse Setting” menu of
the “BIOS Setup” and set items necessary for operating the mouse together with the flat point.

SECTION 1

What Is the Flat Point?

12

Flat P oint Usage

Click Either tap the operating surface once or press the

left button once until it clicks, then immediately
release it. Clicking the right button once is called
a right click.

Double click Either tap the operating surface twice consecu-

tively or twice quickly press the left button twice
until it clicks, then immediately release it.

Point Align the mouse pointer with a menu item or the

like. If there is a level beneath the manual item
on which you placed the mouse pointer (if > is
displayed at the right end of the menu item), that
menu is displayed.

Drag Move the mouse pointer to any position, then

quickly tap the operating surf ace twice. After the
second tap, do not remov e your fingertip from the
operating surface, b ut drag it along the oper ating
surface to the desired position, then remov e your
finger from the operating surface.

Critical Point

You can also carry out the click and drag operations in combination with the buttons.
Tap gently and quickly with your fingertips. There is no need for much force.
When you are moving the mouse pointer with the flat point, if you lift up your fingertip and
bring it back down to a different point on the operating surface, the mouse pointer on the
screen does not move. If y ou drag your fingertip along the operating surface from the position
where you brought it back down, the mouse pointer on the screen moves in the direction in
which you drag your fingertip.
The interval between taps for double clic king can be adjusted with Mouse in the Control Panel
for Windows 98.

3. Keyboard

The keyboard is the de vice for giving instructions to the computer , inputting data, and e xecuting. The
keys can be divided into two types.

Numeric Keypad Mode

The mode in which some of the character keys are used as numeric keys (with a key layout that
makes numeric input easier) instead of their normal functions is called numeric keypad mode. The
keyboard is switched to numeric keypad mode with [Num Lk]. (In numeric keypad mode,

is dis­played on the status indicator LCD.) The keys surrounded by thick lines in the diagram above be­come the numeric keypad. The numbers input with these keys are printed in front of each key.

Critical Point

When the separately sold numeric keypad is connected, if you press [Num Lk] to put the
computer into numeric keypad mode, the keys on the external numeric keypad are enabled,
but the numeric keypad section on the keyboard is disabled.

Critical Point

Since the LS-120 disk drive of this personal computer locks the
disk electronically, any LS-120 disk can be ejected only when

the personal computer is in the operating mode. If the LS-120
disk is not ejected for some reason, insert the tip of a paper clip
into the EJECT hole. The disk will be ejected.

Ejecting an LS-120 disk while the LS-120 disk drive access lamp
or on the status indicator LCD is lighted might damage the
data recorded on the disk.

To protect data stored in an LS-120 disk from erasure or to pre vent additional data writing on
a disk, slide the write enable tab of disk to make the square hole open (write inhibit status). To

make the disk enabled f or ov erwriting or additional writing, slide the write enable tab again to

SECTION 2

What is a Floppy Disk?

A floppy disk is a medium for storing programs or data. This item explains basic knowledge
and precautions regarding floppy disks.

Types of floppy disks

If floppy disks are classified according to the amount of data they can store (the memory capacity),
typically there are 2 types.

• 2HD floppy disks
These have 1.44MB (megab yte: unit of data

amount) and 1.2MB memory capacities.

• 2DD floppy disks
These have 720KB (kilobyte) memor y ca-

pacities, half of the 2HDs.
The differences between the 2 kinds of

floppy disks are shown in the diagram on
the right.

HD mark or no mark

Hole or no hole

3 mode drive

This computer’s floppy disk drive is a 3 mode drive that can read 1.44MB, 1.2MB and 720KB
memory capacity floppy disks. Therefore it can read nearly all floppy disks. However, when
exchanging data with another computer , you hav e to be careful if the other computer’ s floppy disk
drive is not a 3 mode drive. For example, if the other computer can read 1.2MB floppy disks but
not 1.44MB floppy disks, y ou ha ve to enter the data after putting it into 1.2MB format in advance
with this computer.

Critical Point

Some floppy disks cannot be read by this computer, depending on the floppy disk format.

54

Precautions on Handling

Take the following precautions when using floppy disks in order to avoid damaging them.

Be careful not to spill liquids such
as coffee onto them.

Do not place them in places with
high temperatures or in direct
sunlight.

Do not bend them or place heavy
objects on top of them.

Never touch the surface of the
disk.

Do not bring them near to
magnetic fields.

Do not stick labels on over each
other.

Critical Point

If you eject the floppy disk while the flopp y disk
unit’s access lamp is still on, there is a risk of
losing the data on the disk.
When you do not want to erase the data sa ved
on the disk, or when you do not want to write
additional data, slide the floppy disk’s Write
enable tab so that the hole is open (WRITE
PROTECT state). When y ou want to write data
again, slide the Write enable tab so that the
