scroll horizontally.

your finger from the pad.

Using the Touch Pad
By design, the Touch Pad is to be used with a fingertip only. 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., discoloration. In
addition, do not use commercially available household cleaners and cosmetics, as they may contain components harmful
to the surface.
