competitiveness, your regional office MAY have decided to extend the functionality of a machine (e.g.

add-on card, modem, or extra memory capability). These LOCALIZED FEATURES will NOT be covered

in this generic service guide. In such cases, please contact your regional offices or the responsible

personnel/channel to provide you with further technical details.

2. Please note WHEN ORDERING FRU PARTS, that you should check the most up-to-date information

available on your regional web or channel. If, for whatever reason, a part number change is made, it will

not be noted in the printed Service Guide. For ACER-AUTHORIZED SERVICE PROVIDERS, your Acer

office may have a DIFFERENT part number code to those given in the FRU list of this printed Service

Guide. You MUST use the list provided by your regional Acer office to order FRU parts for repair and

service of customer machines.

Touchpad Basics

The following items show you how to use the Touchpad:

• Move your finger across the Touchpad (1) to move the cursor.

• Press the left (2) and right (3) buttons located beneath the Touchpad to perform selection and

execution functions. These two buttons are similar to the left and right buttons on a mouse.

Tapping on the Touchpad is the same as clicking the left button.

NOTE: When using the Touchpad, keep it - and your fingers - dry and clean. The Touchpad is sensitive to

finger movement; hence, the lighter the touch, the better the response. Tapping too hard will not

increase the Touchpad’s responsiveness.

Function Left Button (2) Right Button (3) Main Touchpad (1)

Execute Quickly click twice. Tap twice (at the same speed

as double-clicking a mouse

button).

Select Click once. Tap once.

Drag Click and hold, then use

finger on the Touchpad to

drag the cursor.

Tap twice (at the same speed

as double-clicking a mouse

button); rest your finger on

the Touchpad on the second

tap and drag the cursor.
