Using the Three-Button Mouse
The mouse is a hand-operated locating device. A three-button mouse is available for
use with the system unit.
Consult your application publication for the exact use of the three-button mouse.
You can use the mouse to perform such functions as positioning a cursor, selecting
items from a menu, or moving around in your document much easier and faster than
if you used only the keyboard. The cursor moves exactly as you move the mouse on
a flat surface, such as a desktop.
When you move the mouse around on a flat surface, as shown in this illustration, the
cursor moves on the display screen; the movement changes the position of the
cursor.
Chapter 2. Using the System Unit2-7
With the mouse buttons, you can perform functions such as selecting and deselecting options, extending your selection, or choosing a command. The precise function of your mouse depends on the software you are using.
The mouse has a cable that plugs into the mouse connector at the rear of the
system unit.
Handling the Mouse Correctly
For best operation, handle the mouse with care. Incorrect handling can damage the
mouse.
Do not:
Operate the mouse on cloth, unfinished wood, newspaper, or carpet
Drop or hit the mouse
Carry the mouse by holding onto the cable
Expose the mouse to extreme temperatures or direct sunlight
Place the mouse in liquid spills
2-8RS/6000 Enterprise Server Model H Series User's Guide
Caring for the Mouse
The operating surface for the mouse should be smooth, clean, and flat. For
example, you can operate the mouse on the following surfaces:
Finished wood
Glass
Enamel
Plastic
Paper (except newspaper)
Metal
Rough surfaces collect contaminants that can be transferred to the interior of the
mouse by the ball. The surface you use should be free from spills, dirt, dust, lint,
wax, eraser dust, and other foreign matter. Rough surfaces can also cause the pads
located on the bottom of the mouse to prematurely wear. A deeply pitted surface
could cause erratic operation of the mouse.
Inspect the work surface for spills or other contaminants.
Dust the work surface.
If you are using a paper pad, inspect it for wear and replace it if necessary.
Chapter 2. Using the System Unit2-9
Cleaning the Mouse
1. Remove the retaining ring by turning it counterclockwise, in the direction of the
arrow as shown in the illustration.
