Clicking

1. First, place your fingers on the joystick.

2. Gently move your finger in the direction you want the cursor to move. The stick detects the change in pressure and moves the cursor in the corresponding direction.

3. The left and right buttons located on each side of the joystick are the same in function as those on a two-buttoned mouse. Clicking these buttons makes selections, drags objects, or performs a variety of other functions depending on the software. To select an object, first move the pointer over the object you want to select, and then press the left button one time. The functions of these buttons are software specific.

NOTE

The joystick also has the ability to do a left button click if it is tapped.

Double-clicking



Double-clicking is a common technique for selecting objects or launching programs from icons. Once you have moved the pointer over the object you wish to select, rapidly press the left button two times. This action is commonly referred to as “double-clicking” an object.

NOTE

Double-clicking can also be accomplished by double-tapping with the joystick.

Dragging



Move the pointer to the desired location then press down the left button. While still holding down the left button, move the pointer to the desired location. Release the button.



Move the pointer to the desired location. Tap the joystick twice quickly as if you were doubleclicking, however do not remove your finger after the second tap. Move the cursor to the desired location. Lift your finger to finish dragging.

Adjust the joystick settings by selecting Settings/Control Panel/Mouse/Buttons. These settings allow you to change the orientation of the joystick from right-handed to left-handed, and fine-tune the pointer movement and timing of clicks.

General Guidelines

The mobile computer uses a Liquid Crystal Display (LCD), which is the type of screen used on many notebook and sub-notebook computers. One problem experienced on computers with an LCD display, especially in cold environments, is that the cursor seems to “disappear” whenever the mouse is moved quickly. To improve the visibility of the mouse cursor, you should:
