1. Q .
How do I activate the mouse?
A.
First make sure that your computer supports the use of a
mouse. You must also have attached the necessary mouse
cable. See the
Getting Started section if you have questions
about connecting the mouse cable.
After you make the necessary cable connections, turn on your
computer. When you enter Mouse Function mode, the orange
mouse light on the template for the left middle finger should be
on and the mouse should be activated. If not, in Mouse
Function mode press the mouse key
( left middle finger,
well key). The mouse light should go on. See the Using the
Finger Mouse and Arrow Keys , page 41 for more details.
2. Q.
The mouse driver is installed, the mouse cable is connected
and I’ve turned on the mouse. Why doesn’t the mouse work?
A.
If you are using Microsoft Windows® on a PC, sometimes the
default settings in Microsoft Windows® must be changed to
reflect the correct mouse driver. To check that the default
setting is correct, select [Windows Setup] [Options] [Change
System Settings] [Mouse] and make sure the setting is
“Microsoft IBM PS/2 or compatible.” If the mouse still does not
work, you might have to modify the AUTOEXEC.BAT file to
reflect the correct driver designation.
If you have a PS/2 mouse driver, make sure you power down
your system before connecting the parts of the DataHand

System to get a functioning mouse.
You should also determine if you have a bus mouse. If you
do, you must disable the mouse, either through the software or
by removing the card. Contact DataHand® Systems, Inc.
using the reference in
Getting More Help, page 64, at the end
of this section.
3. Q.
How do I activate the arrow keys?
A.
In 10-Key configuration, the arrow keys on the left hand index
finger are automatically activated.
