Learning the basics

To start the tutorial, follow these steps:

1Slide your mouse along your mouse pad or desk.

Hold the mouse as shown, with the cable pointing away from you. Rest the heel of your palm on the desk and grasp the sides of the mouse as shown. Slide the mouse around with the index finger resting on the mouse button. Don’t press the mouse button (under your index finger). Notice that the arrow (8) on the screen moves in the same direction that you move the mouse.

If the arrow doesn’t move, make sure that the cables connecting the mouse and keyboard are secure and that your mouse is positioned as shown in the illustration.

2Move the tip of the arrow (8) to the question mark (h) in the upper-right portion of the screen.

If you run out of room on your mouse pad or desk while moving the mouse, pick it up and place it where there’s more room. (The arrow on the screen moves only when the mouse is in contact with the mouse pad or desk.)
