Using the Touchscreen (Optional)
NOTE: You can press Fn+F8 to toggle the touchscreen on or off.
CAUTION: Do not use a sharp object such as a ballpoint pen or
pencil on the touchscreen. Doing so may damage the touchscreen
surface. Use your finger or the included stylus.
Select models have a capacitive touchscreen. This type of touchscreen responds
to objects that have conductive properties, such as fingertips and a capacitive-tipped
stylus. You can navigate on the screen without using a keyboard, touchpad, or mouse.
By default settings, your touchscreen responds best to fingertips. If you prefer using
a capacitive-tipped stylus (purchased separately) or if you are wearing gloves, you
should change the touchscreen settings to suit your scenario. (Use the G-Manager
program and select the Touch Screen tab to set up.)
The following table shows how you use the touchscreen to obtain equivalent mouse
