TARGUS WIRELESS

STOW-N-GO™

RECHARGEABLE

NOTEBOOK MOUSE

Introduction

Congratulations on your purchase of the Targus Stow-N-

Go™ Mouse. This ergonomically designed mouse uses

leading-edge radio frequency (RF) technology that

enables you to use the mouse anywhere up to 15 feet

(4.57 m) of its receiver, in a 360 degree range of

operation.

This mouse also features eight communication channels

with automatic channel-hopping capability. This feature

reduces the likelihood of interference from other RF

devices. Using multi-channels make it ideal for use in

areas where more than one RF device is used, such as a

conference room or office area.

NOTE: THIS MOUSE IS A HIGH RESOLUTION DEVICE. FOR MAXIMUM

ACCURACY AND EFFICIENCY,IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT YOU SET YOUR

DISPLAY RESOLUTION TO 1024 X768 PIXELS OR HIGHER WHILE YOU ARE

USING THE MOUSE.

Operating Notes for Wireless Mice with

Recharging Feature via USB Cable

Standby or Hibernate:

a) Click “Start”

b) Click “Control Panel”

c) Click “Performance and Maintenance” (Skip in Classic View)

d) Click “Power Options”

e) Make sure “System Standby:” and “System Hibernates:” under “Plugged

Low Battery Indicator Light

When the battery charge is running low, the light emitter

diode (LED) on the scroller wheel flashes.

CAUTION: IF THE INDICATOR LIGHT IS FLASHING,IT IS HIGHLY

RECOMMENDED THAT YOU CHARGE THE MOUSE AS SOON AS POSSIBLE TO

PROPERLY MAINTAIN THE BATTERIES.

Connecting the Mouse Receiver

To connect the mouse receiver:

1 Press the eject button on the bottom of the mouse.

2 Take the receiver out of the compartment.

3 Plug the USB receiver into an available USB port on

your computer and follow any on-screen instructions

to complete the default driver installation.

4 The communication link between the mouse and

receiver is preset at the factory so the mouse should

now be ready to use.

Switching Channels

In some instances, radio frequency interference may

require you to switch to an alternate channel. To do this:

• Press and release the reset button, located on the

bottom of the mouse.

Within 5-10 seconds the mouse will automatically

switch to another channel and again respond to

movement.

Storing the Receiver

Place the receiver at a 90° angle and press the receiver

into the compartment.

The receiver will click into place when properly inserted.

NOTE: WHEN THE RECEIVER IS STORED IN THE MOUSE’S STORAGE

COMPARTMENT,THE POWER IS AUTOMATICALLY SHUT OFF.

Power Save Mode

To conserve the battery, the mouse reduces its power

consumption gradually when not in use by entering into

sleep mode. Move the mouse to resume normal

operation.

Operating Hints

For optimal performance and RF reception:

• Turn off your computer’s power management feature

before charging the mouse so that your computer

doesn’t enter sleep mode, which temporarily halts the

charging process.

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

such as iron, aluminum or copper, shield the radio

Targus Wireless Stow-N-Go™ Rechargeable Notebook Mouse

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. Move the mouse to reactivate.

• 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.
