Using the AccuPoint II
The AccuPoint II keys
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 prefer to use a mouse or
trackball, you can connect one to the computer’s serial port or
PS/2 port. See “Using a mouse” on page 36.
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.
The primary button acts as the left button on a mouse. The
secondary button acts as the right mouse button.
The small left button performs the same function as the
Page Up
key.
The small right button performs the same function as the
Page Down
key.
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.
