Charging the Batteries

For best results, you should charge the mouse at least 8

hours before using it. You can do this via the supplied

USB charge cable. To do this:

1 Connect the cable’s USB connector into an available

USB port on your computer

2 Connect the other end to the mouse.

NOTE: TO CONTINUOUSLY CHARGE THE MOUSE VIA THE USB CHARGE CABLE,

YOUR COMPUTER MUST BE ON AND AWAKE. FOR BEST RESULTS,TURN OFF

YOUR COMPUTER’S POWER MANAGEMENT FEATURE WHILE CHARGING THE

MOUSE.

Establishing a Communica-

tions Link

The mouse has 256 identification codes that allow the

mouse and its receiver to operate without interference

from other radio frequency devices.

After your computer detects the USB receiver and the

driver is installed, you must establish a communications

link between the mouse and its receiver BEFORE you

can use the mouse. To establish this link, you need to set

the identification code so that the mouse works properly.

To do this, follow the instructions below:

Make sure that your computer is turned on and has

detected the USB receiver before you establish a

communications link.

Rechargeable Wireless Notebook Mouse

1 Press and release the link button located on the bottom

of the receiver.

Receiver

The receiver’s status light blinks when the receiver is

activated.

2 Press and release the link button, located on the

bottom of the mouse.

You are now ready to use the mouse.

Mouse Power Management

To power the mouse on and off, slide the on/off switch at

the bottom of the mouse to the desired position.

When power is on, the mouse goes into "sleep mode"

after 8 minutes of no use. To activate the mouse, move

the mouse or press any key.

To save battery power, turn off the mouse while traveling.

Operating Hints

For optimal performance and RF reception:

• Place the receiver at least 20cm away from all

electrical devices, such as your monitor, speakers or

external storage devices.

• If necessary, use the supplied extension cable to keep

the receiver away from the computer. Plug the receiver

into the extension cable, and the extension cable to the

computer.

• Avoid using the mouse on a metal surface. Metals,

such as iron, aluminum or copper, shield the radio

frequency transmission and may slow down the

mouse’s response time or cause the mouse to fail

temporarily.

• The mouse will enter a suspend mode at the same time

your computer does. To activate the mouse, simply

move the mouse.

• If your computer has a metal case that contains

aluminum or magnesium, use the mouse to the side.

The display panel may interfere with the radio

frequency signal if you use the mouse directly in front

of the computer.

• Never use the mouse on a glass or mirrored surface as

these surfaces will cause the mouse to fail temporarily.

• To maximize battery life, use the mouse on a white, or

light colored surface. Dark surfaces cause the mouse’s

light emitter diode (LED) light to glow brighter, which

causes the battery to discharge more rapidly.

Comfortable Usage

Research suggests that physical discomfort and injury to

nerves, tendons, and muscles may be related to

repetitive motion, an improperly set up work area,

incorrect body posture, and poor work habits.

To reduce the risk of injury, follow these precautions:

• Stand, stretch, and move around several times every

hour.

• Switch hands while performing tasks. Use shortcut

keys to avoid repetitive or awkward mouse

movements.

• Relax your shoulders and keep your elbows at your

sides. Adjust the keyboard’s position so that you don’t

have to stretch to reach it.

• Adjust your position so that you don’t have to bend

your wrists to type; avoid placing your wrists on a sharp

edge.

If you feel discomfort or numbness in your hands, wrists,

arms, shoulders, neck, or back while typing, consult a

qualified medical professional.

Troubleshooting

What do I do if the mouse does not work?

• Make sure that the polarity of the batteries is correct.

The positive (+) and negative (-) ends of each battery

must match the positive (+) and negative (-)

connections in the battery housing.

Rechargeable Wireless Notebook Mouse

• Check that the receiver’s USB connector is firmly

attached to the USB port on your computer.

• Verify that the device drivers are installed.

• Make sure you have established a radio link between

the mouse and its receiver. See “Establishing a

Communications Link” on page 6.

When I use the mouse, other wireless devices

work more slowly or fail temporarily – what

should I do?

• The mouse may cause interference with any cordless,

radio-based device that operates at 27 MHz, such as a

telephone, baby monitor, or toy. To reduce

interference, move the mouse’s receiver and the base

unit of the affected device as far away from each other

as possible.

What do I do if the response time of the

mouse is slow or the mouse intermittently

stops working?

• Increase the distance between the mouse’s receiver

and the rest of your computer equipment.

• Increase the distance between the mouse’s receiver

and the base units of other wireless devices.

• Turn off any wireless devices and their base units that

are near the mouse’s receiver.

• If you are using the mouse on a metal surface, move it

and the receiver to a non-metal surface. Metals, such

as iron, aluminum or copper, shield the radio frequency

transmission and may slow down the mouse’s

response time or cause the mouse to fail temporarily.
