other notebook/networks, access the Internet, and supports data transfer rates of 10Mbps up to 100Mbps. The built-in
LAN module provides a standard RJ-45 connector.
Using the Wireless LAN

a wireless connection within the range of any wireless Access Point (AP). The M10 integrates built-in 802.11b/g or
802.11 b/g/n wireless LAN module. IEEE 802.11b standard supports 11 Mbps wireless connection speed. However,
IEEE 802.11g supports 54Mbps wireless connection speed, and is backward compatible with the slower 802.11b. IEEE
802.11n uses MIMO Technology. Wireless LAN module is similar to a LAN module.

2.5 Using Touch pad
The built-in touch pad is a PS/2-compatible pointing device that senses movement
on its surface. The cursor responds as you move your fi nger on the surface of the
touchpad. The central location on the palm rest provides optimum comfort and
support.
1. The rectangular surface acts like a miniature of your display screen. To move
the mouse cursor, place your fi nger lightly on the sensor pad and move in the
desired direction. If you reach the end of the pad, lift your fi nger and place it
back down on the other side of the pad.
2. To select an item, click on the item by pressing the left button control or by
simply tapping on the surface once. To execute an item, click the left button
twice or do a quick double tap on the surface.
3. To simulate holding the mouse button down (dragging an icon or selection), use the tap-and-drag gesture. This
feels much like a double-click, except that your fi nger remains on the pad after the second tap: Tap, lift, tap, hold
and move. The simulated button remains held as long as the fi nger remains on the pad.
