Color Mouse  (260-3125)       Using the Color Mouse    Faxback Doc. # 5452

After setting up the system and installing the Color Mouse, controlling the
cursor becomes a matter of logic.

Cursor movement is relative to your movement of the Color Mouse:

* To move the cursor to the upper portion of the screen, move the Color
  Mouse away from you.

* To move the cursor to the lower portion of the screen, move the Color
  Mouse toward you.

* To move the cursor to the left, move the Color Mouse to your left.

* To move the cursor to the right, move the Color Mouse to your right.

Horizontally and vertically, the Color Mouse divides the screen into 64
steps (0-63). Therefore, the center point of the screen is X=32, Y-32.
The maximum movement of the mouse is approximately 4.5 inches (horizontally
and vertically). If the mouse is moved further than this in any direction,
the movement is no longer reflected by the cursor on your screen until the
mouse moves back within the specified boundaries. The illustration shown
the maximum movement capabilities of the Color Mouse.

NOTE: The available movement area for the cursor is governed by the program
you are using. Some programs allow you to use the entire screen area. Other
programs restrict your movement to certain areas of the screen.

You can also move the cursor diagonally. And, if you are drawing graphics,
 it is easy to move in a circular pattern with the Color Mouse.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

* Do not drop the Color Mouse.

* Be sure to place a clean sheet of paper between the Color Mouse and the
  flat surface. Dirt and grit can collect on the ball on the bottom of the
  unit and mar the flat surface.

* Do not roll the Color Mouse through any type of liquid.

* Do not touch the ball on the bottom of the unit.

Follow these instructions carefully to prevent inaccurate results or damage
to the Color Mouse. If the ball  does come in contact with your fingers or 
moisture, use a lint-free cloth to clean (or dry) the unit. If problems 
persist, check with your local Radio Shack Computer Center or store.
