The scroll wheel can be confi gured via the mouse settings in the control panel.
If the mouse pointer moves jerkily on the screen, please
try operating it on a different surface (mouse pad). Glass

Keyboard
In addition to the standard numbers and characters, the keyboard can also be used
to enter a number of special characters, as well as to perform certain commands
depending on the program. These special functions are controlled using the keys Alt;
Alt Gr and Ctrl.
The Alt, Alt Gr and Ctrl keys
The Alt key is used in combination with other keys to perform particular functions.
These functions are determined by the program being used. To enter a keyboard
shortcut with the Alt key, you press and hold down the Alt key as you press the other
key. The Alt Gr key works in a similar way to the Alt key, but is used to obtain certain
special characters. The Ctrl key (Control) performs program functions in the same
fashion as the Alt key.
