Using the TrackPoint pointing device
The TrackPoint pointing device consists of a pointing stick (1) on the keyboard and three click buttons at the
bottom of the keyboard. To move the pointer (5) on the screen, you apply pressure to the nonslip cap on the
pointing stick in any direction parallel to the keyboard; the pointing stick itself does not move. The speed at
which the pointer moves depends on the pressure you apply to the pointing stick. The functions of the left (4)
and right (2) click buttons correspond to those of the left and right mouse buttons on a conventional mouse.
The TrackPoint center button (3), called the scroll bar, enables you to scroll Web pages or documents in any
direction with no need to use the graphic scroll bars on the side of the window.
