TARGUS WIRELESS RF

MOUSE

Introduction

Congratulations on your purchase of a Targus Wireless RF

Mouse. This ergonomically designed mouse uses a radio

frequency (RF) link that enables you to use the mouse

anywhere within three feet of its receiver. No line-of-sight

between the mouse and its receiver is required.

This user’s guide describes how to connect the mouse receiver

to your computer, install default software drivers and set up the

radio link.

System Requirements

To use the RF mouse, your computer must meet the following

hardware requirements and run one of the operating systems

listed below.

Hardware

•PCwithanIntel

®Pentium®processor or equivalent and a

hard disk drive

• USB interface

Operating System

• Windows®98/Me/2000/XP

NOTE: The third button and the scrolling wheel only work with

the operating systems listed above. If you use the RF mouse

with a different operating system, it will lose its enhanced

features and function as a standard, two-button mouse.

2 Insert the supplied batteries, making sure that the positive

(+) and negative (-) ends of each battery match the polarity

indicators inside the battery housing.

WARNINGS: When replacing the batteries, you may use

alkaline or other heavy-duty NiMH batteries. Never combine

an alkaline with a NiMH battery in a device.

Using the Charger Base

For best results, you should charge the RF mouse for at least

four hours before using the mouse.

NOTE: Using the charger base is optional. If you are using the

mouse without the charger base, you may use disposable

batteries.

CAUTION: If you are using the mouse with the charger base,

you must use rechargeable batteries, such as the ones

supplied, to avoid possible damage to the mouse and charger.

To set up the charger base and charge your mouse:

1 Make sure that batteries in the RF mouse are properly

installed.

2 Attach the power adapter to the power jack on the charger

base and plug the power adapter into a power strip or wall

outlet.

3 Place the RF mouse into the charger base.

The status light on the charger base glows while it charges

the mouse’s batteries.

Connecting the Mouse Receiver

To connect the mouse receiver:

1 Turn off your computer.

2 Plug the USB receiver into an available USB port on your

computer.

You are now ready to set the radio frequency channel and

establish a communications link between the mouse and its

receiver. See “Establishing a Communications Link” on page 6

Establishing a Communications

Link

After your computer detects the USB receiver and the driver

software 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.

Setting the Identification Code

Make sure that your computer is turned on and has detected the

USB receiver before you establish a communications link.

1 Press and release the link button on the receiver.

Sample receiver

The receiver’s status light glows when the receiver is

activated.

2 Press and release the reset button, located on the bottom of

the mouse.

CAUTION: Pressing and holding the reset button longer than

1.5 seconds may cause the mouse to enter power off mode.

See “Mouse Power Management” on page 7.

Sample mouse bottom

The mouse’s red light emitter diode (LED) stops glowing

when you press the reset button and resumes glowing when

the button is released.

You are now ready to use the RF mouse.

Mouse Power Management

To power the mouse off, wake the mouse (if it’s in sleep

mode), press and hold the reset button for at least two seconds.

Then, release the reset button when the red LED flashes one

Operating Hints

For optimal performance and RF reception:

• Place the receiver at least 8 inches (20 cm) away from all

electrical devices, such as your monitor, speakers or external

storage devices.

If necessary, use a three-inch extension cable to place the

receiver away from the computer. Plug the receiver into the

extension cable, and the extension cable to the computer.

• Avoid using the RF 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 RF mouse will enter a suspend mode at the same time

your computer does. To activate the mouse, press any button.

• If your computer has a metal case that contains aluminum or

magnesium, use the RF 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 RF mouse on a glass or mirrored surface as

these surfaces will cause the mouse to fail temporarily.

• To maximize battery life, use the RF 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

or 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.

Things to Remember
