Using the Three-Button Mouse
The mouse is a hand-operated locating device. A three-button mouse is available for
use with the system unit. Consult your application publication for the exact use of
the three-button mouse.
You can use the mouse to perform such functions as positioning a cursor, selecting
items from a menu, or moving around in your document much easier and faster than
if you used only the keyboard. The cursor moves exactly as you move the mouse on
a flat surface, such as a desktop.
When you move the mouse around on a flat surface, the cursor moves on the
display screen; the movement changes the position of the cursor.
With the mouse buttons, you can perform functions such as selecting and
deselecting options, extending your selection, or choosing a command. The precise
function of your mouse depends on the software you are using.
The mouse has a cable that plugs into the mouse connector at the rear of the
primary I/O drawer.
Handling the Mouse Correctly
For best operation, handle the mouse with care. Incorrect handling can damage the
mouse.
Do not:
Operate the mouse on cloth, unfinished wood, newspaper, or carpet
Drop or hit the mouse
Carry the mouse by holding onto the cable
Expose the mouse to extreme temperatures or direct sunlight
Place the mouse in liquid spills
