Using the Three-Button Mouse

The mouse is a hand-operated locating device. A three-button mouse is available for

use with the system unit. Consult your application publication for the exact use of

the three-button mouse.

You can use the mouse to perform such functions as positioning a cursor, selecting

items from a menu, or moving around in your document much easier and faster than

if you used only the keyboard. The cursor moves exactly as you move the mouse on

a flat surface, such as a desktop.

When you move the mouse around on a flat surface, the cursor moves on the

display screen; the movement changes the position of the cursor.

With the mouse buttons, you can perform functions such as selecting and

deselecting options, extending your selection, or choosing a command. The precise

function of your mouse depends on the software you are using.

The mouse has a cable that plugs into the mouse connector at the rear of the

primary I/O drawer.

Handling the Mouse Correctly

For best operation, handle the mouse with care. Incorrect handling can damage the

mouse.

Do not:

 Operate the mouse on cloth, unfinished wood, newspaper, or carpet

 Drop or hit the mouse

 Carry the mouse by holding onto the cable

 Expose the mouse to extreme temperatures or direct sunlight

 Place the mouse in liquid spills
