Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your ProtoArc T1 Trackpad, follow these simple maintenance guidelines:

  • Keep the trackpad surface clean and free from dust and debris. Use a soft, lint-free cloth for cleaning.
  • Avoid exposing the trackpad to extreme temperatures or direct sunlight.
  • Do not spill liquids on the device. If liquid contact occurs, disconnect immediately and allow to dry completely before re-connecting.
  • Handle the device with care to prevent drops or impacts.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your ProtoArc T1 Trackpad, consider the following solutions:

  • Trackpad Not Responding: Ensure the USB-C cable is securely connected to both the trackpad and your computer's USB port. Check if the red indicator light on the trackpad is illuminated.
  • Laptop's Built-in Touchpad Disabled: If you have disabled your laptop's built-in touchpad, any external wired or wireless touchpad may also be disabled. Re-enable your laptop's touchpad settings if necessary.
  • Windows 11 Touchpad Settings: For Windows 11 users, verify that the touchpad settings are enabled. Go to "Windows Settings" → "Bluetooth & other devices" → "Touchpad" and ensure the touchpad is turned 'on'.
  • Intermittent Connection: Try connecting the trackpad to a different USB port on your computer. Ensure you are using the original USB-C cable provided, as some generic cables may lack data transfer capabilities.
  • Gesture Issues: Confirm your operating system is Windows 10 or 11. Some touchpad gestures or functions may not work on other systems.
