Using the Touch Pad

The PS/2-compatible touch pad detects the position of your finger over a touch-sensitive area and provides the computer full mouse functionality. The touch pad’s 2 buttons correspond to the left and right buttons on a standard mouse.

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 (emulates pressing the left mouse button). 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 on an object, position the cursor on the object and then tap twice.

You can customize touch pad and cursor features in the Microsoft Windows95 operating system. Click the Start button, point to Settings, and then click Control Panel. Double-click the Mouse icon. Select the General tab and click the Options button.

To use the touch pad, the PS/2 Mouse option in the System Devices menu of the Setup program must be enabled (the default). Dell has already installed the touch pad drivers.

NOTES: Keep your fingers away from the touch pad while the computer is booting or loading the operating system. If you touch the touch pad at either time, the cursor will not move until you remove your finger from the touch pad surface.

The touch pad is inoperable if an external PS/2 mouse is attached.
