User Manual

Double-clicking is a common technique for selecting objects or launching programs from icons.

Once you have moved the pointer over the object you wish to select, rapidly press the left button

two times. This action is commonly referred to as "double-clicking" an object.

Dragging

Move the pointer to the desired location then press down the left button. While still holding down

the left button, move the pointer to the desired location. Release the button.

Move the pointer to the desired location. Tap the touchpad twice quickly as if you were double-

clicking, however do not remove your finger after the second tap. Move the cursor to the desired

location. Lift your finger to finish dragging.

Adjust the touchpad settings by selecting Settings/Control Panel/Mouse/Buttons. These settings allow

you to change the orientation of the touchpad from right-handed to left-handed, and fine-tune the pointer

movement and timing of clicks.

Touchpad Precautions

If not properly cared for the touchpad can be easily damaged. Please take note of the following

recautions.

Do not rest heavy objects on the touchpad or the touchpad buttons.

General Guidelines

The mobile computer uses a Liquid Crystal Display (LCD), which is the type of screen used on many

notebook and sub-notebook computers. One problem experienced on computers with an LCD display,

especially in cold environments, is that the cursor seems to "disappear" whenever the mouse is moved

quickly. To improve the visibility of the mouse cursor, you should use a slow or medium

speed/sensitivity level.

You can combine a higher level of acceleration with a slow or medium speed/sensitivity level. This will

allow you to move the mouse cursor quickly by increasing your finger pressure, while still providing a

finer degree of control when you apply minimum pressure.

NOTE

To change the speed of the mouse, from the Start Menu select Settings, Control Panel, and then

choose Mouse to make adjustments.

Scrolling Buttons

If you are scrolling through a document, you may it find the scrolling button more restful to your hand

than holding down a mouse button. The scrolling button is located between the touchpad buttons. Push

the top of the button to scroll up in a document or Web page; press the bottom of the button to scroll

down.

Connecting an External Keyboard or Mouse

You can use your GoBook II computer with an optional external keyboard, numeric keypad, or IBM

PS/2 compatible mouse. These devices are "hot swap" capable, which means you do not have to power

down the GoBook II to connect them to the PS/2 connection located on the back of the unit.
