Getting Started with Your Apple Mouse

Congratulations on purchasing the Apple Mouse. Use this
booklet to quickly set up and start using your new mouse.

Your new Apple Mouse is a programmable, multibutton mouse. To use your mouse
and take advantage of the full range of features, you need Mac OS X v10.4.8 or later
installed on your Mac. If your Mac is using an earlier version of Mac OS X, you won’t be
able to use all of the features.

Setting Up Your Mouse

To set up your mouse, simply plug the USB cable from your Apple Mouse into an
available USB port on your Mac, keyboard, or display.

Cleaning Your Mouse and Scroll Ball

Follow these guidelines to clean the outside of your mouse and the scroll ball:

 Use a lint-free cloth that’s been lightly moistened with water to clean the mouse

exterior and the scroll ball.

 Don’t get moisture in any openings.
 Don’t use aerosol sprays, solvents, or abrasives.

If your mouse stops scrolling or if scrolling becomes rough, clean the mouse scroll ball.
Rotate the ball while cleaning for complete coverage. If scrolling feels rough, hold the
mouse upside down and roll the ball vigorously while cleaning it to help remove any
particles that may have collected.

Using Your Mouse

The Apple Mouse comes with left and right buttons, a scroll ball (which can be clicked),
and a button on either side. To use your Apple Mouse:

 Click the left or right button.
 Press the side buttons.
 Click or roll the scroll ball.

Either the left or right button can function as the primary button. Use the primary
button to click, double-click, and drag items. Either button can also function as the
secondary button. Use the secondary button to display an item’s shortcut menu.
You can assign a function to the side buttons, which work together as a single button,
and to the scroll ball, which also functions as a button.
