•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.

Using the Keyboard

This computer has a close-to-full-sized keyboard and an embedded numeric keypad, separate cursor, lock, 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	When Num Lock is on, the embedded keypad is in numeric mode. The keys
<Fn> + <F11>	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.
Scroll Lock <Fn> +	When Scroll Lock is on, the screen moves one line up or down when you press
<F12>	the up or down arrow keys respectively. Scroll Lock does not work with some
	applications.

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.

Desired access	Num Lock on	Num Lock off
Number keys on	Type numbers in a normal manner.

				functions:
				< >: Open or close the Start menu
				< > + <D>: Display the desktop
				< > + <E>: Open Windows Explore
				< > + <F>: Search for a file or folder
				< > + <L>: Lock your computer (if you are connected to a network domain), or
