Getting Started
Using the computer for the first time
Using the AccuPoint II
Pointing device
The round button in the middle of the keyboard is the AccuPoint II
pointing device. It enables you to move the cursor and to select
items on the screen. (If you would rather use a mouse or trackball,
you can connect one to the computer’s USB port or PS/2 port. See
“Connecting a mouse” on page 50
AccuPoint II control buttons and pointing device
To move the cursor, gently push the pointing device in the
direction you want the cursor to move. Pushing harder on the
pointing device moves the cursor faster.
Control buttons
When a step instructs you to click or choose an item, move the
cursor to the item, then press and release the primary button. To
double-click, press the primary button twice in rapid succession.
The primary button usually corresponds to the left mouse button.
The function of the secondary button depends on the program you
are using. It usually corresponds to the right mouse button. Check
your program’s documentation to find whether it uses the right
mouse button.
