Congratulations on your purchase! Your new RF-Mouse is easy to install and offers you a host of useful features. The Radio receiver can be conveniently placed to give

you the freedom you need while working. The vertical wheel allows you to scroll, or zoom in and out in a document. You can program the mouse buttons to launch the

NetJump or LuckyJump for a quick start to programs you run frequently. And, your RF-Mouse has a unique ID code, so other RF (Radio Frequency) pointing devices

won’t affect your system.

Connecting the RF-Mouse Receiver

nTo connect your mouse receiver to a USB mouse port:

1. Locate an available USB mouse port on the back of your computer.

2. Insert the USB mouse port connector into the USB mouse port.

nTo connect your mouse receiver to a PS/2 mouse port

2. Insert the USB connector to PS/2 adaptor.

3. Then plug it into the round 6-pin PS/2 mouse port.

Locating the RF

-Mouse Receiver

Your RF-Mouse has limitations on the range or distance from the receiver. To make sure that your mouse

sends and receives properly, refer to the following:

1. For optimal performance, place the receiver at least 8 inches (20 centimeters) away from other

electrical devices, such as the computer, the monitor, or external storage drives.

2. The RF-Mouse should be no farther than 3.3 feet (1.0 meter) from the mouse receiver. This will

ensure optimal communication between the mouse and receiver.

3. If you are working on a metallic surface, try using a mouse pad and turning the receiver face down

for better reception.

4. Switch frequency channels to prevent interference from other RF pointing devices. (See the

following section for more information.)

Selecting the Frequency Channel

The RF-Mouse operates on two frequency channels. To prevent interference when using two RF

Mice in close proximity a different frequency channel should be used for each mouse. Refer to

the following to change the frequency channel for your mouse:

1. Set the frequency channel on the receiver to1 or2.

2. Remove the battery cover from the mouse (see the followingInserting the Batteries

section).

3. Set the frequency channel on the mouse to1 or2. (The frequency channel for mouse and

receiver must be the same.)

Inserting the Batteries

The RF-Mouse uses two AA batteries. For best performance, use only alkaline batteries. Refer to

the following to insert the batteries:

1. Press the tab on the bottom of the mouse cover as shown here and remove the cover.

2. Insert the two AA batteries. (The correct polarity is indicated on the battery

compartment casing.)

3. Replace the cover.

Checking the Batteries power

To check the battery power, right-click the mouse icon in the Taskbar.

Choose the “Check RF-Mouse Status” option to display the RF-Mouse

Status window. The current battery percentage charge is shown.

Installing the Mouse Software

Before you can take advantage of the many features your mouse offers, you must install the driver. The driver is on the installation diskette that came packaged with

your mouse.

4. In the Run dialog window, type A:\setup, where “A” is the letter of your floppy disk drive.

5. Click OKand follow the instructions on your screen to complete the installation.

The RF-Mouse ID code

Each RF-Mouse is assigned a unique ID code at manufacture, so the receiver only picks up the signal from your mouse and prevents other RF-Mouse radio signals from

operating on your computer. This feature can also be disabled, allowing other RF-pointing devices to operate your computer.

Connecting the RF-Mouse ID Code

When the driver installation is finished your computer reboots and the RF-

Mousewindow (shown on the right) appears.

CONNECT ID: Move the RF-Mouse for a few seconds to establish a

connection, then click Connect ID. The unique ID code of your mouse is

recognized and another RF pointing device will not function on your

computer.

Exit: Click Exitif no other RF pointing devices are within 3 meters range or if

you want other RF pointing devices to be able to access your computer.

Changing the RF-Mouse ID Code

You can use a new RF-Mouse on your computer without changing the Radio receiver; you just need to change the ID code. Refer to the following:

1. Press [Shift + Alt + F11] or [Shift + Alt + F12] to call up the RF-Mouse ID Code window.

2. Move the RF-Mouse for a few seconds to establish a connection, then click Connect ID.

3. The new ID code is Connected and the RF-Mouse window closes.

4. Click Exit to close the RF-Mouse ID code window.

Identifying Components

The mouse is designed to fit snugly into your hand. The scroll wheel is positioned on the top allowing for easy

operation with the index finger. Standard mouse buttons are positioned to either side of the scroll wheels and can

be reached comfortably with the index and ring fingers. A third button is placed under the vertical wheel and can

be easily clicked by pushing down on the wheel.

The following pages will tell you how to configure the scroll wheels and buttons to suit your specific needs.
