Touchpad

The built-in touchpad provides the same functions as an external mouse. You can use the touchpad and USB mouse simultaneously.

For best performance, it is recommended to use the driver provided by the touchpad manufacturer.

The driver provided by the touchpad manufacturer is preinstalled when you purchase this product. You can reinstall the driver through LG Intelligent update .

The touchpad scroll function may not be supported in the model that supports the gesture function.

Moving the Cursor (Pointer) on the Screen

CAUTION:

Notes on Using the Touchpad

  • Do not use a sharp object such as a pen on the pad nor peel the cover. It may cause an impairment.

  • Do not place more than one finger, and do not use while wearing a glove or when the hand is wet. The Touchpad will not work properly. Oil or dirt at the finger tip can also cause an impairment.

  • The touchpad is sensitive. Do not give excessive load or maintain an uncomfortable position. Otherwise, a finger or wrist injury may be resulted in.

Drag & Drop

To drag, click and hold an icon, for example, and move it to another location.

To drop, release the dragged icon in the location you want.

To move a file icon, for example, to another folder or to Recycle Bin, place the cursor (or the pointer) on the icon, press and hold the left button, and glide another finger on the touchpad until the icon reaches the aimed location. After reaching the destination, release the left button.

  1. Drag

    • Glide one finger on the pad with another finger pressing and holding the left button.

  2. Drop

    • Release the left button to drop (By doing this, you could drop a file into Recycle Bin, if you want to).

Click-free Dragging (Synaptics)

When activated, this feature allows you to drag an icon without pressing and holding the left button.

  1. Click [Mouse Properties] icon in Notification Area.

  2. Select Activate click-free dragging (T) and click [Setup] button to adjust the time span for which you should press the left button to execute the feature.
