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.
The optical mouse cannot work on a glass, translucent or reflective surface.
NOTE:
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.
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.)

•
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 centre for scrolling
and panning.
