Using the wireless mouse

The wireless mouse gives you flexibility to control your Family Media Center. The mouse provides precise tracking on most surfaces. You can also use the mouse in the air to point and select on the screen.

Tips:

For optimal mouse performance, avoid using the mouse on highly reflective glass or mirrored surfaces.

For optimal battery life, avoid using the mouse on dark-colored surfaces.

To use the wireless mouse on a flat surface

1 Before using the wireless mouse, set up and synchronize the mouse with the radio frequency (RF) receiver on your Family Media Center.

For more information, see “Setting up and synchronizing the wireless keyboard and mouse” on page 8.

2 Remove the mouse from the charging cradle and place it on a flat surface. The LED light on the Family Media Center flickers rapidly when the mouse communicates with the RF receiver.

3 Use the mouse like a standard desktop mouse.

2 Hold the mouse in a comfortable, relaxed position:

•Put your index finger on the activation trigger and your thumb at the base of the scroll wheel.

•Press and hold the activation trigger with your index finger. While holding the trigger, flex your wrist up, down, and sideways (in a manner similar to using a flashlight). The mouse pointer tracks the motions of your hand.

Tips:

Double-click the activation trigger to keep the pointer continuously active. To stop the pointer movement, click the activation trigger again.

Move the pointer over a target and release the activation trigger before clicking the left or right mouse buttons. This parks the pointer and lets you click more accurately.

•Use you thumb to press the left or right mouse button or operate the scroll wheel.
