Touchpad

The built-in touchpad is a pointing device that senses movement on its surface. This means the cursor responds as you move your finger across the surface of the touchpad. The central location on the palmrest provides optimum comfort and support.

Touchpad Basics

The following items will show you how to use the touchpad.
Move your finger across the touchpad (2) to move the cursor. Press the left (1) and right 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.

Right button X

Function Execute
Left button (1) Quickly click twice.
Main touchpad (2) Tap twice (at the same speed as double-clicking a mouse button). Tap once 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. X

Select Drag

Click once Click and hold. Then slide your finger across the touchpad to drag the cursor over the selection. X
Access context menu Scroll

Click once

Tap the arrows to move up/ down.
Note: Keep your fingers, as well as the surface of the touchpad dry and clean. The touchpad is
sensitive to your finger movements: the lighter the touch, the better the response. Tapping hard will not increase the touchpads responsiveness.

Using the Keyboard

The full-sized keyboard includes an embedded numeric keypad, separate cursor, lock, Windows, function and special keys.
Lock keys and Embedded Numeric Keypad
The keyboard has three lock keys which you can toggle on and off.

Lock key

Lock Key Caps Lock Num Lock <Fn> <Fn> + <F11> + <F11>
Description When Caps Lock is on, all alphabetic characters are typed in uppercase. When Num Lock is on, the right hand side numeric keypad is in numeric mode. The keys function as a calculator (complete with the arithmetic operators +, -, *, and /). When Num Lock is off, the keys assume cursor and other shortcut functions. When Scroll Lock is on, the screen moves one line up or down when you press the up or down arrow keys respectively. scroll Lock does not work with some applications.

Using the Bluetooth Optical Mouse
The Ferrari notebook comes with a Bluetooth optical mouse.

Installation

Installation of the Bluetooth mouse is simple. Enable Bluetooth functionality by pressing the Bluetooth communication button on the front panel.
1. Turn the mouse upside down. Make sure the power switch is ON. Press and hold the Connect button
for three seconds. The mouse is now in pairing mode and is ready to connect to the computer.

2. On the notebook, open My Bluetooth Places by double-clicking on the Bluetooth icon. 3. From the menu bar, select Bluetooth and then Bluetooth Setup Wizard. 4. Select I want to find a specific Bluetooth device and configure how this computer will use its
devices. Then click Next.
5. From the drop-down menu, select Show mice, keyboards and joysticks, and then click on the

Search Again button.

6. The Acer mouse will be discovered. Click on the Acer mouse icon, and then click Next. 7. The services that are available from the device will be listed. Select Bluetooth Mouse and click Finish. 8. Wait while the mouse is installed. This may take several seconds. 9. The mouse is now connected. Move the mouse to verify the connection.
Use the Bluetooth mouse as you would a traditional mouse. For optimal performance, use a mouse pad. Using the Bluetooth mouse on a transparent or reflective surface will inhibit the ability of the optical sensor to track the cursor.

The system supports three levels of password protection. The password support consists of a Supervisor Password, User Password, and Hard Disk Password. All the passwords are stored in a non-volatile storage device (EEPROM). All the passwords obeys the following rules:

Password Policy

All the passwords can be set or cleared in BIOS Setup Security screen. The password entry consists of eight alphanumeric characters. At least one character must be assigned. The valid keys are listed in the table below:
Symbol Character A-Z 0-9 = [ ] Symbol Name letters A to Z (not case sensitive) numerical characters dash equal sign left bracket right bracket
Symbol Character. , ; / \ period comma

Symbol Name

semi-colon slash back slash
The users can not change or remove password during resuming from S4. The max. number of times to retry the password is limited to three. Supervisor Password controls the access of the whole BIOS Setup Utility. If the Supervisor Password is set, the system will pop up the password dialog box to ask for the password when the users press <F2> for entering BIOS Setup Utility. If the Supervisor Password is set and Password on boot is enabled, the system will pop up the password dialog box to ask for the password when the system is powered on or resumes for S4 state. If the users fail three times consecutively in password verification, the system will be hung up and the users need to manually power off the system. If the User Password is set, the system will pop up the password dialog box to ask for the password when the users press <F2> for entering BIOS Setup Utility. If the Supervisor Password is not set at first, the User Password can not be set. If the Supervisor Password is cleared, the User Password will be cleared, too. If the User Password is set and Password on boot is enabled, the system will pop up the password dialog box to ask for the password when the system is powered on or resumes for S4 state. If the users fail three times consecutively in password verification, the system will be hung up and the users need to manually power off the system. Highlight the item and press Enter, a dialog box will be shown to ask the users to enter new password and confirm new password. If the users want to reset password, a current password will be required to be tapped in at first. If the current password is correct, the users are permitted to enter new password and confirm new password for verification. If the verification is OK, the password setting will be complete after the users press Enter. If the password entered does not match the current password, a dialog box will be shown to ask to re-enter the password.
