Using the Mouse

IMPORTANT: Please see any documentation that came with the mouse for additional information about using the mouse, customizing mouse buttons, and using special buttons or features that are included with the mouse. You may need to install mouse software and drivers to access all the special features and functions of the mouse.

Your computer includes a mouse for directing the cursor (pointer) on the Windows Vista 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 computer. A light on the receiver indicates receiver activity.

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.)
