Installing the Batteries

Optical Mouse
Removing the battery cover

1. 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. AVOID MIXING NEW AND USED BATTERIES IN A DEVICE.
2. Slide the battery cover back into position until it “clicks” firmly into place.
3. Turn on the mouse by sliding the on/off switch on the bottom of the mouse to the “on” position. The optical sensor, located on the bottom of the mouse, glows red.

Wireless Keypad

1. Remove the battery cover located on the bottom of the keypad.
2. Insert the supplied batteries, making sure that the positive (+) and negative (-) ends of each battery match the polarity indicators inside the battery housing.
3. Turn on the keypad by sliding the Power switch on the back side of the keypad to the “on” position.

Connecting the Receiver

Plug the USB receiver into an available USB port on your computer.

You are now ready to set the identification code to establish a communication link with the receiver.

Setting the Identification Code

After your computer detects the USB receiver you must set the ID code between the receiver and the mouse as well as between the receiver and the keypad BEFORE you can use them. To do this, do the following: NOTE: MAKE SURE THAT YOUR COMPUTER IS TURNED ON AND HAS DETECTED THE USB RECEIVER BEFORE YOU SET THE ID CODE.

Optical Mouse

1. Plug the USB receiver into an available USB port on your computer. The LED on the receiver will flash for 60 seconds to indicate ID search mode.
2. Press the setup key on the bottom of the mouse.

When the LED on the receiver is lit, the mouse is set up with an ID, and the receiver is locked. You are now ready to use the mouse. Proceed to set the ID code with the keypad.

Wireless Keypad 

1. The LED on the receiver will flash for 60 seconds to indicate ID search mode. During this time, press and release the connection button on the back of the keypad.
2. When the light emitter diode (LED) on the receiver is lit, the keypad is set up with an ID, and the receiver is locked. You are now ready to use the keypad.

Power Management

To power the keypad and mouse on and off, slide the on/off switch to the desired position. When power is on, the mouse goes into “power saving mode” after 4 minutes of inactivity. To activate the mouse, move the mouse or press any button. To save battery power, turn off the keypad and mouse while traveling or when you’re not using them.

Operating Hints
For optimal performance and RF reception:

• Place the receiver at least 20 cm away from all electrical devices, such as your monitor, speakers, or external storage devices.
• Avoid using the optical 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, press any of the buttons.
• If your computer has a metal case that contains aluminum or magnesium, use the optical 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 optical mouse on a glass or mirrored surface as these surfaces will cause the mouse to fail temporarily.
• To maximize battery life, use the optical mouse on a white, or light-colored surface. Dark surfaces cause the mouse’s LED to glow brighter, which causes the battery to discharge more rapidly.

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.
• 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 communication link between the mouse and its receiver. See “Setting the Identification Code”.

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 2.4 GHz, 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.
• You can also reset the mouse’s identification code. The mouse has identification codes that allow the mouse and its receiver to operate without interference from other radio frequency devices. To do this, see “Setting the Identification Code.

What do I do if the response time of the mouse is slow or the mouse intermittently stops working?
Try one or more of the following:

• 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.
• Replace the batteries.
