Using a Mouse
If you have an Apple mouse with a USB connection, you can insert the USB connector
into the USB 2.0 port and use your mouse right away. If you want to use an Apple
wireless mouse with Bluetooth ® technology, see “Using Bluetooth Wireless Technology”
on page 64 for information about connecting it. You can purchase a wireless or USB
mouse from the online Apple Store at www.apple.com/store or from an Apple
Authorized Reseller.
