3. Test the mouse by moving it around and pressing each button.
As you press each of the mouse buttons and move the mouse around, the
movement is reflected on the screen. If the screen doesn’t respond as you move the
mouse or press the mouse buttons, the mouse may be faulty. If the mouse does not
respond correctly, follow the instructions in “Ordering Replacement Parts” on
page 135 to order a replacement mouse. Then contact your service provider for
further instructions.
4. Close the mouse test by clicking on the button in the upper left-hand corner of the
window and selecting Quit. The screen goes back to the way it was when you
launched the confidence test.
