Your mouse is very easy to use. Once the mouse is installed you may move the cursor
around the screen freely. The mouse has a roller ball in it and therefore should be used
on a flat surface. A mouse pad is ideal, but you may also try a piece of paper, notebook
or magazine. A clean flat surface is important to be able to use your mouse effectively.
See Descriptions of Activities for more specific use of your mouse within an activity.
