When the computer is running or charging, heat is produced inside the QBOOK and
transferred to the back of the chassis by the heat dissipation system for cooling. The
transformer may also produce a lot of heat during normal use as well. The QBOOK
and its transformer should therefore not be placed in the lap or on any other body part
for prolonged periods during use. Also avoid placing the QBOOK on a soft surface
(e.g. sofa) as it might block the heat vents and interfere with cooling.

1-3 Using the Touchpad
1. Introduction to the Touchpad
The touchpad is like a computer mouse. It senses the pressure from the user's nger and generates
a voltage that is used to control the cursor's movements and issue commands.
The touchpad senses nger movements. Simply move one nger across the touchpad to control
the movement of the cursor on screen. Below the touchpad is two buttons. The left button is like
the left mouse button and is used for selecting options or launching programs on screen. The right
button works the same way as the right mouse button.
2. Single Tap/ Single Click
To select a window function or press a button icon, move your nger across the touchpad to move
the cursor to the window or button to select. Now tap the touchpad with your nger to perform
the action. This action is equivalent to pressing the left mouse button. You can also press the left
touchpad button for the same effect.
3. Double Tap/ Double Click
To open a le or document, move your nger across the touchpad to move the cursor to the le you
wish to open. Now quickly tap the touchpad twice with your nger to perform the action. This action
is equivalent to pressing the left mouse button twice. You can also press the left touchpad button
twice for the same effect.
4. Drag
Move your nger across the touchpad to move the cursor to the object you wish to drag. Now hold
down the left touchpad button with one hand and move the cursor to the desired location. Release
the button and complete the drag operation. You can also double tap the object you wish to drag and
keep the nger on the touchpad after the second tap to perform the drag operation with one hand.
