When the computer is running or charging, heat is produced inside the Netbook and transferred
to the back of the chassis by the heat dissipation system for cooling. The transformer may also
produce a lot of heat during normal use as well. The Netbook and its transformer should therefore
not be placed in the lap or on any other body part for prolonged periods during use. Also avoid
placing the Netbook on a soft surface (e.g. sofa) as it might block the heat vents and interfere
with cooling.

Using the Touchpad
3-1 Introduction to the Touchpad
The touchpad is like a computer mouse. It senses the pressure from the user's nger and
generates a voltage that is used to control the cursor's movements and issue commands.
The touchpad senses nger movements. Simply move one nger across the touchpad to
control the movement of the cursor on screen. Below the touchpad is two buttons. The left
button is like the left mouse button and is used for selecting options or launching programs
on screen. The right button works the same way as the right mouse button.

press the left touchpad button for the same effect.
3-3 Double Tap/ Double Click
To open a le or document, move your nger across the touchpad to move the cursor to the
le you wish to open. Now quickly tap the touchpad twice with your nger to perform the
action. This action is equivalent to pressing the left mouse button twice. You can also press
the left touchpad button twice for the same effect.

Now hold down the left touchpad button with one hand and move the cursor to the desired
