Introducing the PC
7
A wireless mouse (select models only) is an optical mouse that uses a
receiver/transmitter, instead of a connector cable, to communicate with your PC.
A light on the receiver indicates receiver activity.
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.)
Using the Mouse Buttons
The mouse has two or three buttons on the top:
• Click the left mouse button to position the cursor or to select an item.
• Click the right mouse button to display a menu of commands for the item you
clicked.
• On select models, use the scroll wheel button in the center for scrolling and
panning.
Click means to press the left button on the mouse once.
Double-click means to press the left button on the mouse two
times in a row. To double-click, you click the button (press it
and then release it), and then quickly click it again.
Right-click means to press the right button on the
mouse once.
To select an item, click the item.
To select sequential items in a list or group, click the first
item in the list, and then press and hold the Shift key on the
keyboard while you click the last item.
To select non-sequential items, click the first item, and then
press and hold the Ctrl key on the keyboard while you click
the additional items.
NOTE: Your mouse may look different from the one shown here.
You can switch the function of the left and right buttons for left-handed use. Refer
to “Switching Mouse Button Functions” on page 8.
Scrolling
Click the left mouse button to place the cursor in a document, and then:
• To scroll toward the beginning of a document, roll the scroll wheel button up
(away from you).
• To scroll toward the end of a document, roll the scroll wheel button down
(toward you).
