Dragging
lMove 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.
lMove the pointer to the desired location. Tap the pointing stick twice quickly as if you were
double-clicking, 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 pointing stick settings by selecting Settings/Control Panel/Mouse/Buttons. These settings
allow you to change the orientation of the pointing stick 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:
lEnable the “Pointer Trails” feature to add trailing cursors.
lUse a slow or medium speed/sensitivity level.
You can combine a higher level of acceleration with a slow or medium speed/sensitivity level. This will
allow you to move the mouse cursor quickly by increasing your finger pressure, while still providing a
finer degree of control when you apply minimum pressure.
NOTE To change the speed of the mouse, from the Start Menu select Settings, Control Panel, and
then choose Mouse to make adjustments.
Connecting an External Keyboard or Mouse
You can use your GoBook Pro computer with an optional external keyboard, numeric keypad, or
mouse. The devices are “hot swap” capable, which means you do not have to power down the GoBook
Pro to connect these devices to the USB connection located on the right side of the unit.
