Touch Pad: Dell™ Latitude™ L400 User's Guide
The touch pad (see Figure 1) detects the position of your
finger over a touch-sensitive area and provides the computer full mouse functionality. The
touch pad’s two buttons correspond to the left and right buttons on a standard mouse.
Figure 1. Touch Pad
To best use the touch pad, follow these techniques:
- To move the cursor, lightly slide your finger over the smooth sensor area.
- To select an object, gently tap once on the surface of the touch pad.
- To select and move (or drag) an object, position the cursor on the object and tap
down-up-down on the touch pad. On the second down motion, leave your finger on the touch
pad and move the selected object by sliding your finger across the surface.
- To double-click an object, position the cursor on the object and then tap twice.
 |
NOTES: When enabled, the touch pad uses interrupt request (IRQ)
12. No other device can use IRQ12 while the touch pad is enabled.

|
When you attach an external Personal System (PS)/2 mouse to the
computer, the touch pad is automatically disabled. |
To customize the touch pad, perform the following steps:
- Click the Start button, point to Settings, and click Control Panel.
- Double-click the Mouse icon to open the Mouse Properties window
and click the Touch tab.
- Select the settings that work best for you and click Apply.
- Check the Button Configuration, Pointers, Motion, Touch, Edge Motion, Scrolling,
Button Actions and More Features tabs and make any
desired changes to those settings.
- Click OK to save the settings and close the window.
You can also click the touch pad icon on the taskbar and click TouchPad
Properties to open the Mouse Properties control panel.
If the touch pad or display become smudged from use, it can be cleaned using a soft,
clean cloth slightly dampened with water. Always turn off the computer before cleaning the
display or touch pad.
To clean the touch pad, stroke the cloth gently across the surface of the touch pad. Do
not allow water from the cloth to seep between the touch pad and the top cover of the
computer.
To clean the display, stroke the cloth across the display in one
direction, moving from the top of the display to the bottom.
