The Smart Zoom feature may have adverse effects on Waterford 5 depending on your mouse usage patterns, and by default, is enabled for systems with trackpads or wireless () devices.

This software feature is not available with older Apple mice; therefore, older mice will not impact the Waterford Early Learning solution in this way.

Smart Zoom is a mouse feature that allows the user to double-tap the mouse or trackpad to zoom in or out on an active window. Depending on your mouse usage patterns, this feature can easily be invoked unintentionally while using the Waterford product. This could cause the screen to suddenly zoom in on a Waterford menu or session, creating a cumbersome and undesirable experience.

Pearson highly recommends that this feature be disabled to help ensure an optimal experience with the Waterford application.

To disable the Smart Zoom feature:

1. Click System Preferences from the Apple dock. 2. Click Mouse Settings. 3. On the Point & Click tab, clear the the Smart Zoom check box. 4. Close the System Preferences.
