●Depending on the application software, the scroll operation may differ, or the scroll
function may not operate properly.
How to Scroll
1Select the screen you want to scroll.
2Position the cursor over the area you want to scroll.
3Trace a circle around the edge of the touch pad as indicated in
the following diagrams.
To scroll down (trace clockwise)
To scroll up (trace counter-clockwise)
Scrolling will begin more easily if you start from the position marked by the and
trace as indicated by the arrow.
4Once scrolling has begun, continue to trace a circle on the touch
pad without removing your finger from the pad.
●As long as you are tracing a circle, you can continue scrolling using any position
on the touch pad. It is not necessary to trace a circle around the edge of the pad.
●To scroll in the opposite direction, trace a circle in the opposite direction without
removing your finger from the touch pad.
5When you are finished scrolling, remove your finger from the
touch pad.
Hints for Easier Touch Pad Operation

Handling the Touch Pad
●Do not place any object on the work surface or press down forcefully with sharp-pointed
objects (e.g., nails) or hard objects that can leave marks (e.g., pencils and ball point
pens).
●Try to avoid having any harmful substances such as oil, come in contact with the touch
pad. The cursor may not work properly in such cases.
●When the touch pad becomes dirty:
Wipe to remove dirt by using a dry soft cloth such as gauze or a soft cloth first applied
with detergent diluted with water and then thoroughly wrung. Do not use benzene or
thinner, or rubbing alcohol. Doing so may adversely affect the surface, e.g., discolora-
tion. In addition, do not use commercially-available household cleaners and cosmetics,
as they may contain components harmful to the surface.

Touchscreen
Your computer is equipped with a touchscreen display allowing you to perform the same
operations as the touch pad or mouse by touching the surface of the display with the stylus
(included). The following explanation gives one example (for the default settings).
The operation settings can be changed. (page 12)
●Moving the cursor ●Clicking
●Double-clicking ●Dragging
CAUTION
●When the LCD is used alone or with an external display simultaneously, the
touchscreen function cannot be used when the area of either display is set larger
than default setting of the screen resolution.
●If a change is made to the screen resolution, or the cursor can not be pointed
correctly, be sure to perform [Calibration]. (page 12)
●Even when only an external display is in use, the cursor will move on the external
display if the surface of the internal LCD is touched when the touchscreen driver is
active. Therefore, do not touch the LCD when only an external display is in use.
●The touchscreen function can not be used when using the full screen in [Command
Prompt].

●Use the stylus included with the computer. Do not use an implement other than the
stylus that comes with the computer.
●Do not place any object on the surface or press down forcefully with sharp-pointed
objects (e.g., nails), hard objects that can leave marks (e.g., pencils and ball point pen).
●Do not apply pressure within 5 mm of the perimeter of the display panel. The cursor
may move to the edge of the display.
●Do not operate the computer when such things as dust are on the screen. Do not allow
contact with substances that could dirty the touchscreen, such as oil. The cursor may
not work properly in such cases.
●When the touchscreen becomes dirty:
Wipe lightly to remove dirt by using a dry soft cloth included with the computer.
Do not use benzene or thinner, or rubbing alcohol.
For more information, refer to “Suggestions About Cleaning the LCD Surface”that
comes with the soft cloth.)
●Clean the stylus tip and screen prior to operation. Foreign particles can scratch the
screen and impede the operation of the stylus.
●Use the accessory stylus only for the computer screen. Using it for any other purpose
may damage the stylus and scratch the screen.
●Do not use pencils, implements with sharp tips or hard objects for screen operations.
The screen may be damaged as a result.
●Since the stylus is retractable tip, be sure to use the stylus only after the stylus tip is
ready for use (i.e., clicked open). Otherwise, scratches may result on the screen.

Standby/Hibernation Functions
If you use the standby or hibernation function, you can shut down the computer without
closing programs and documents. Upon restarting your computer from either the standby
or hibernation mode, you can immediately continue working in all programs, or documents
that were open at the time the computer was placed into standby or hibernation mode.
Differences between the Standby and Hibernation Functions
NOTE
●We recommend plugging in the AC adaptor if the standby function is to be used for
a long period of time. If the AC adaptor cannot be connected, we recommend that
hibernation mode be used instead of the standby mode.
●If the standby or hibernation function is used repeatedly, the computer may not work
properly. To stabilize computer operations, we recommend shutting down Windows
on a regular basis (about once a week) without using the standby or hibernation
function.
Use any of the following methods to enter the standby or hibernation mode.
To use the hibernation mode, make the setting in advance (page 16). (Enabled in
factory preset.)
●Fn key combinations (page 4)
●Using the power switch (page 17)

Precautions
■Before entering the standby or hibernation mode
●Save all data.
●When a file in an external device such as a CD drive, external hard disk, or ATA
card is opened, close the file.
●Even when a password has been set in the Setup Utility, [Enter Password] does
not appear when the computer resumes from the standby or hibernation mode.
If you want to use the security function when using the standby or hibernation
mode, use the Windows password as follows:
Windows 2000
1Set the password in [Control Panel] - [Users and Passwords].
2Add the check mark for [Prompt for password when computer goes off standby]
in [Control Panel] - [Power Options] - [Advanced].
Windows XP
1Select the account to change in [Control Panel] - [User Accounts].
2Set the password.
3Add the check mark for [Prompt for password when computer resumes from
standby] in [Control Panel] - [Performance and Maintenance] - [Power Options] -
[Advanced].
●Do not enter either the standby or hibernation mode under the following
conditions. You may corrupt your data or file, the standby or hibernation function
may not work, or the computer (or peripherals) may fail to work properly.
• While the floppy disk drive is being accessed, or hard disk drive indicator ( ) or
SD memory card indicator ( ) is on.
• When playing/recording audio files and displaying images (such as MPEG files).
• When using communications software or the network function.
• When using LAN cards (port), SCSI cards and modem cards (port) etc. (If these
cards fail to work properly, restart the computer.)
■When entering the standby or hibernation mode*1
●Avoid the following:
• Touching the keyboard, pointing device (touch pad, touchscreen*2, external
mouse, etc.), or power switch.
• Connecting or disconnecting the AC adaptor.
• Closing or opening the display.
*1Standby mode: until the power indicator blinks green
Hibernation mode: until the power indicator goes off
*2Only for models with touchscreen.

17
Standby/Hibernation Functions
■In standby or hibernation mode
●Do not insert or remove peripherals; abnormal operation may result.
●In standby mode, power is consumed. If PC Cards are inserted, more of that power
is consumed. When all power has been consumed, all data saved at standby is lost
since it is retained in memory. We therefore recommend plugging in the AC adaptor
when using the standby function.
