using the mouse
Your PC includes a mouse for directing the cursor (pointer) on the Windows desktop. The mouse uses a roller ball or optics (a light and sensor) to sense movement and cause the cursor on the screen to move. Use the mouse on a flat surface.
NOTE: The optical mouse cannot work on a glass, translucent, or reflective surface.
A wireless mouse (select models only) is an optical mouse that uses a receiver/transmitter, instead of a connector cable, to communicate with your PC. A light on the receiver indicates receiver activity. Refer to “wireless keyboard set“ on page 23 for receiver indicator information.
NOTE: The wireless mouse goes into a sleep or suspend mode after 20 minutes of inactivity. Click a button on the mouse to wake it. (Moving the wireless mouse does not wake it.)
The mouse has two or three buttons on the top.
•Click the left mouse button to position the cursor or to select an item.
•Click the right mouse button to display a menu of commands for the item you clicked.
•On select models, use the scroll wheel button in the center for scrolling and panning.
