To use the mouse:
1. Make sure the mouse is properly connected to the computer
and that the computer startup is complete.
2. Place the mouse on a clean, flat surface, such as your
desktop.
3. Move your mouse across the flat surface and a pointer
moves across your screen.
❏
To type, move the pointer to a spot on the screen
where you want to begin typing, then press and release
(this is called clicking) the left mouse button once. The
cursor will begin blinking at the spot you clicked, and
you may begin typing there.
❏
To make a selection in a program menu, use the mouse
to click on the menu name, then click on your selection
in the drop-down menu list.
❏
To open icons (small pictures that represent files and
programs), position the mouse pointer on the icon, then
double-click.
✎
The double-click speed is timed. If you double-click too
slowly, your computer responds as if you single-clicked twice.
Remember, click quickly.
Cleaning the Mouse
For the most part, a mouse cleans itself as you move it around.
However, if you find that the pointer does not move smoothly,
or that the ball does not move freely, you should clean the
mouse.
To clean the mouse, complete the following steps:
1. Turn off your computer.
2. Disconnect the mouse cable from the computer.
3. Turn the mouse upside down.
4. Remove the mouse ball cover.
5. Gently turn the mouse over and let the ball drop into your
hand.
