Using the Mouse
The OmniBook mouse is PS/2-compatible.
The mouse is extremely sturdy. Its flexibility allows it to withstand bending and
accidental bumps without breaking.
You use the OmniBook’s two-button mouse just as you do the mouse on your
desktop PC: Move the pointer to the icon or menu you want, and click with the left
mouse button for most operations. Or double-click—click twice rather quickly with
the left mouse button—for certain operations. However, the mouse doesn’t need a
surface to slide on—so you can use it anywhere.
In this section you’ll learn how to
• Use the mouse.
•
Replace the mouse.
To use the mouse
To pop out the mouse
1. Press the round mouse-eject button in the upper-right corner of the keyboard.
2. Firmly pull the mouse out past the first resistance to its full extended position—
about 3 inches (8 centimeters).
3. Lift the end of the mouse nearest you—it pops up for a more comfortable shape.
4. Although the arm limits the physical extension of the mouse, it does not limit the
travel of the pointer, as you will see. Just by pushing or pulling on the mouse,
the pointer will continue to travel.

Once you’ve popped it out, you can use the mouse with the top popped up or
collapsed. The popped up position is usually more comfortable, especially if you
drape your hand over it as shown. But the collapsed position may be better if you’re
in a cramped environment, or you have to work with the OmniBook on your lap.
