zIn some cases, such as when using an external mouse or installing a driver for an
external mouse, or when using certain applications, the operations may differ, or the
scroll function may not operate properly.
zOn screens that can only scroll in one direction, either vertical or horizontal, the scroll
function will only work in that direction regardless of the operation of the touch pad.
(For example, on a screen that will only scroll horizontally, even if you execute a
vertical scroll, the screen will scroll horizontally.)

zWhen 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., discoloration. In addition, do not use commercially available household
cleaners and cosmetics, as they may contain components harmful to the surface
