Touch Pad
The built-in touch pad, which is a PS/2-compatible pointing device, senses movement on its surface. As you move
your fingertip on the surface of the pad, the cursor responds accordingly.
The following items teach you how to use the touch pad:
1. Move your finger across the touch pad to move the cursor.
2. Press buttons to select or execute functions. These two buttons are similar to the left and right buttons on a mouse.
Tapping on the touch pad twice produces is similar to clicking the left button of a mouse.
Function Left Button Right Button Equivalent Tapping Action
Execution Click twice quickly Tap twice (at the same speed as
double-clicking the mouse
button)
Selection Click once Tap once
Drag Click and hold to drag the
cursor
Tap twice quickly and on the
second tap hold finger to the
touchpad to drag the cursor
Access Context Menu Click once
Move One Page Up or Down
Tips on Using the Touch Pad:
1. The double-click speed is timed. If you double-click too slowly, your notebook responds as if you single-clicked
twice.
2. Keep your fingers dry and clean when using the touch pad. Also keep the surface of touch pad clean and dry to
prolong its life.
3. The touch pad is sensitive to finger movements. Hence, the lighter the touch, the better the response. Heavy touch
does not produce better response.

Graphic Subsystem
Your computer uses a high performance 14.1-inch active matrix TFT panel with high resolution and multi-million
colors for comfortable viewing. The Intel integrated GMA950 video graphics accelerator, which is Microsoft DirectX 9
compatible, performs graphic rendering at a lighting-fast speed.
Adjusting the Display Brightness
The notebook uses special key combinations, called hot keys, to control brightness.
Press Fn+F7 to increase the brightness.
Press Fn+F8 to decrease the brightness.
Note: To maximize your battery operating time, set the brightness to the lowest comfortable setting, so
that the internal backlight uses less power.
Extending the Life of the TFT Display Device
Observe the following guidelines to maximize the life of the backlight in the display.
1. Set the brightness to the lowest comfortable setting (Fn+F8).
2. When working at your desk, connect your notebook to an external monitor and disable the internal display Fn+ F4.
3. Do not disable the suspend time-outs.
4. If you are using AC power and have no external monitor attached, change to suspend mode when not in use.
Opening and Closing the Display Panel
To open the display, push the LCD latch to the right and lift up the lid. Then tilt it to a comfortable viewing position.
The LCD panel has a maximum opening of 135 degrees. Do not push it down forcibly.
To close the display cover, fold it down gently.
Warning: To avoid damaging the display, do not slam it when closing. Do not place any object on top of the
computer when the display is closed
