[. . . ] The levels of hardware and software support may vary depending on the installed operating system. The stability and compatibility of other operating systems cannot be guaranteed. Support Software This Notebook PC comes with a support CD that provides BIOS, drivers and applications to enable hardware features, extend functionality, help manage your Notebook PC, or add functionality not provided by the native operating system. If updates or replacement of the support CD is necessary, contact your dealer for web sites to download individual software drivers and utilities. The support CD contains all drivers, utilities and software for all popular operating systems including those that have been pre-installed. The support CD does not include the operating system itself. The support CD is necessary even if your Notebook PC came pre-configured in order to provide additional software not included as part of the factory pre-install. A recovery CD is optional and includes an image of the original operating system installed on the hard drive at the factory. The recovery CD provides a comprehensive recovery solution that quickly restores the Notebook PC's operating system to its original working state provided that your hard disk drive is in good working order. Contact your retailer if you require such a solution. Note: Some of the Notebook PC's components and features may not work until the device drivers and utilities are installed. 34 Pointing Device Using the Notebook PC 4 The Notebook PC's integrated touchpad pointing device is fully compatible with all two/three-button and scrolling knob PS/2 mice. The touchpad is pressure sensitive and contains no moving parts; therefore, mechanical failures can be avoided. A device driver is still required for working with some application software. Do not use any objects in place of your finger to operate the touchpad or else damage may occur to the touchpad's surface. Cursor Movement Vertical Scroll Area Right Click Left Click Using the Touchpad Light pressure with the tip of your finger is all that is required to operate the touchpad.

The following illustrations demonstrate proper use of the touchpad. Slide finger forward Slide finger left Slide finger backward Slide finger right Moving The Cursor Place your finger in the center of the touchpad and slide in a direction to move the cursor.
