# 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 is not supported in the model that supports the gesture function.

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.
