A Look at the Computer

Using the Scroll Mouse

The mouse directs the cursor on the Windows desktop. Use the mouse

to move quickly and 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, press

the mouse button.

✎Some mouse functions, such as autoscrolling, may not work with all

software.

Refer to the Learning More About Your Computer guide contained on

the Documentation Library CD for information on customizing your

Mouse.

Using the Wireless Wheel Mouse

The wireless wheel mouse is available with select models. It has the

same features and functions as the scroll mouse with the addition of a

connect receiver box. Refer to the Getting Started guide included with

your computer for instructions on installing the batteries.

When using the wireless mouse:

■Replace the batteries approximately every six months. The

wireless mouse does not alert you when the batteries are low.

■For optimal performance, place the connect receiver box at least

8-inches/20-centimeters away from other electrical devices, such

as the computer, monitor or external storage equipment.

■Refer to the “Solving Minor Problems” section in your Getting

Started Guide if your wireless mouse does not function properly.
