Trackpad

The trackpad has five-point multi-touch functionality and advanced gesture recognition, making it a versatile interface device for the remote control.

The trackpad is a Synaptics® ClickPad. It is identified as a standard mouse by your computer and does not require any special software application to work.

Basic use

To use the trackpad, place one of your fingers on the surface of the pad as shown in One-finger movement. As you move your finger along the trackpad surface, you should see the mouse cursor on your computer screen moving according to the movement of your finger.
