Using Glide Pad - Sharp Actius PC-RD20 Operation Manual

Using Glide Pad

Your computer is equipped with an integrated pointing device called glide pad. Using
the glide pad, you can move the pointer, select an item from a menu and perform other
tasks in the same way you would with a mouse.
• Do not hit or scratch the surface of the glide pad with pointed objects
(such as a ballpoint pen).
• Do not operate the glide pad with a moist finger. This may cause the
glide pad to operate incorrectly.
Enabling Glide Pad
When a USB mouse is connected to one of the USB ports of your computer, the glide
pad is disabled, which means that your computer does not respond to any tapping on
the pad. Therefore, confliction with the mouse and/or unexpected move of the pointer
on the screen can be avoided.
To enable the glide pad, use one of the following ways.
•
Disconnect the connected USB mouse. (No mouse must be connected.)
•
With a USB mouse connected, open Mouse Properties dialog box, click Device
Settings tab, Enable button and then, OK. (This operation allows your computer to
always respond to the glide pad, while the connected USB mouse also works.)
When the glide pad is disabled, the pad icon (
