A Left button B Scroll wheel button (scrolling mouse only) C Right button 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.

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.
