Using the Mouse
Your computer includes a mouse for directing the cursor (pointer) on the Windows Vista
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.
A wireless mouse (select models only) is an optical mouse that uses a receiver/transmitter,
instead of a connector cable, to communicate with your computer. A light on the receiver
indicates receiver activity.
IMPORTANT: Please see any documentation that came with the mouse for additional
information about using the mouse, customizing mouse buttons, and using special buttons
or features that are included with the mouse. You may need to install mouse software and
drivers to access all the special features and functions of the mouse.
NOTE: The optical mouse cannot work on a glass, translucent, or reflective surface.
NOTE: 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.)
