User Guide

Type Cover protects the screen when you aren’t using it. The screen turns off automatically
when you close the Cover. When you open it again, press the power button on your Surface to
wake it.
Note
Closing the Cover turns off your Surface only if your Cover and Surface are the same size. If
your Cover and Surface are different sizes, press the power button on your Surface when you
close the Cover to save power.
Use the fingerprint reader
The Surface Pro 4 Type Cover with Fingerprint ID includes a fingerprint reader that you can use
to sign in to your PC.
To learn how to set up your Surface to recognize your fingerprint, see What is Windows Hello?
Use the touchpad
Your touchpad has right-click and left-click buttons and supports gestures. For detailed info
about the touchpad gestures, see Touchpad gestures for Windows 10 and Try the latest touchpad
gestures.
Adjust touchpad settings
If the touchpad is too quick to respond to accidental touches or you want to turn the touchpad off
altogether, you can change a setting to make it work the way you like.
