A Look at the Computer
Using the Scroll Mouse
The mouse directs the cursor on the Windows desktop. Use the mouse
to move quickly or easily through a document or Web site.
Moving the scroll wheel on your mouse through a document or Web
site is faster than using the scroll bar. You can use the scroll wheel to:
■ Scroll forward or backward through a document or Web site by
turning the scroll wheel forward or backward.
■ Autoscroll by pressing down on the scroll wheel until it clicks
(you will see an autoscroll icon on your desktop). Move the
mouse vertically, horizontally, or diagonally to scroll in the
desired direction. The farther you move the cursor from the
starting point icon, the faster the scrolling occurs. To stop
autoscrolling, press any mouse button.
✎
Some mouse functions, such as autoscrolling, may not work with all
software.
Using the Wireless Wheel Mouse
The wireless wheel mouse is available with select models. It has the
same scroll features and functions as the Scroll Mouse with the
addition of a receiver box.
When using the wireless wheel mouse:
■ Replace the batteries approximately every six months. The
wireless wheel mouse does not alert you when the batteries
are low.
■ For optimal performance, place the receiver at least eight inches
(twenty centimeters) away from other electrical devices, such as
the computer, the computer monitor, or external storage devices.
■ Refer to the “Solving Minor Problems” section in this guide if
your wireless wheel mouse does not function properly.
