Using the Optical Mouse

The optical mouse is available with select models. It provides the same functions as the scroll mouse, but it uses an optical sensor instead of a mechanical ball to determine the position of

the cursor on the screen. The surface on which you use the optical mouse plays an important role in tracking the cursor.

When using the optical mouse:

■Use a mousepad or a white sheet of paper underneath your mouse. Using it on a glass or see-through surface inhibits the ability of the sensor to track the cursor.

■Avoid using the mouse on a reflective surface such as a mirror or shiny metal disk. This may cause tracking problems.

■Some wood grains and grooved surfaces may also cause tracking problems.

■If your mouse does not function properly, see the troubleshooting section “Optical Mouse” on page 7–25.
