TECHNICIAN NOTES
Warning Only authorized technicians trained by OpenEye should attempt to repair this system. All
troubleshooting and repair procedures that may be shown are for reference and minor
repair only. Because of the complexity of the individual components and subassemblies, no
one should attempt to make repairs at the component level or to make modifications to any
printed wiring board. Improper repairs can create a safety hazard. And any indications of
component replacement or printed wiring board modifications may void any warranty
Warning To reduce the risk of electrical shock or damage to the equipment:
•Do not disable the power grounding plug. The grounding plug is an important safety
feature.
•Plug the power cord into a grounded (earthed) electrical outlet that is easily
accessible at all times.
•Disconnect the power from the computer by unplugging the power cord either from
the electrical outlet or the computer.
Caution To properly ventilate your system, you must provide at least 3 inches (7.6 cm) of clearance
at the front and back of the system.

The mouse uses a cursor called a pointer. Pointers come in many different shapes but are most
commonly shaped like an arrow.
The mouse has two buttons: a left button and a right button. Quickly pressing and releasing one of
these buttons is called clicking. Sometimes you will need to double-click – or click the same button twice
quickly.

Click means to position the mouse cursor over an item and to single click the left button.
Right click means to position the mouse cursor over an item and to single click the right button.
Double-click means to position the mouse cursor over an item and to click the left button twice.
Select means to position the mouse cursor over a radio button, checkbox, or list item and click on it.
The scroll wheel in between the two buttons is used for added navigation functionality. By moving the
wheel with index finger (scrolling), quickly move through multiple pages, lines, or windows. The wheel
may also function as a third button allowing the user to quickly click or double-click an icon or a selected
item
