To start using Wireless Mouse
1. Battery Installation
1) Open the battery compartment of the mouse by
one-push button.
2) Insert two AAA 1.2V 600mA NiMH
Re-chargeable batteries into the compartment.
Make sure to comply with the polarity markings.
3) Close the battery compartment back onto the
mouse again until you hear it click into place.
2. Charging the Mouse via USB
AMW-300, the Rechargeable model can be charged while in use; this means the mouse can be used at
all times, even when the batteries are not charged. However, we recommend always charging the mouse
when is not being used.
1) Connect the cable’s USB connector into an available USB port on your
computer.
2) Connect the charge plug to the DC jack on the rear of the mouse (under the
one-touch button).
3) The battery charging LED lights remain “on” while charging. When charging
is complete, the lights turn “off”.
NOTE:
1. 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.
2. AMW-300 can be powered by rechargeable batteries (AAA/1.2V x 2), USB powered from PCs (5±0.25V), or DC powered
from an optional power adapter (5V/1A, Ø3.5mm positive center coax plug).
3. There are two conditions if the LED starts blinking: (1) the mouse is connected with USB charge cable
while no batteries installed in the compartment; (2) the mouse is powered from PC via USB charge cable
and the fully charged batteries are installed at the same time, the LED will start blinking after working a
while.
3. Establishing a connection between the mouse and the RF receiver
The following steps have to be carried out within 15 seconds if a successful connection is to be
established between the mouse and the RF receiver. Ensure that the mouse is no further than 1.5m away
from the RF receiver.
1) Connect the RF receiver to any free USB port on your
computer. The Plug & Play function of your system will
automatically detect that a new device has been connected.
The mouse will not yet be ready to use at this stage.
2) First, press the Connect button on the receiver that shown
as step1.
3) Then, press the Connect button on the bottom side of the
mouse as step2.
4) After a few seconds your mouse will be ready for use.

4. Sleep Mode
The mouse will switch to power saving mode after 3 seconds while working; and powered off
automatically in 8 minutes to extend battery life. The mouse will be activated again with one mouse click.
Note on handling batteries
zKeep batteries out of children’s reach.
zDo not mix old and new batteries or use different types of battery.
zReplace old or weak batteries promptly.
zAlways use rechargeable batteries only. The charge unit will not charge the mouse with alkaline
batteries and alkaline batteries can cause damage to the mouse.
zThis device needs two AAA 1.2V 600mA NIMH Re-chargeable batteries.
zDispose of and recycle your old batteries in accordance with local regulations.
zThe equipment is to be supplied from an identified USB port complying with the requirements of
Limited Power Source
Operating Hints
For optimal performance and RF reception:
zTurn 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.
zPlace the receiver at least 8 inches (20 cm) away from all electrical devices, such as your monitor,
speakers or external storage devices.
zIf necessary, use the three-inch extension cable to keep the receiver away from the computer. Plug the
receiver into the extension cable, and the extension cable to the computer.
zAvoid 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.
zThe mouse will enter a suspend mode at the same time your computer does. To activate the mouse,
press any button.
zIf 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.
zNever use the mouse on a glass or mirrored surface as these surfaces will cause the mouse to fail
temporarily.
zTo 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.

Troubleshooting
What do I do if the mouse does not work?
1. Make sure that the mouse is fully charged.
2. Verify that your computer’s power management feature is turned off.
3. Check that the receiver’s USB connector is firmly attached to the USB port on your computer.
4. Make sure you have established a radio link between the mouse and its receiver. See “Establishing a
connection between the mouse and the RF receiver” on page 3.
The RF receiver is recognized by Windows but the mouse pointer does not move.
1. Repeat the section “Establishing a connection between the mouse and the RF receiver” on page 3 and
ensure that the mouse is within range (1.5m) of the RF receiver.
2. If this does not solve the problem, check that the optical sensor on the underside of the mouse lights up.
If the sensor does not light up, it is likely that the batteries are flat. Replace the batteries and repeat the
above steps again.
When I use the mouse, other wireless devices work more slowly or fail temporarily – what
should I do?
The mouse has 256 identity codes per channel to prevent interference. However, some interference may still
occur if there are multiple radio-based devices that operate 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?
1. Increase the distance between the mouse’s receiver and the rest of your computer equipment.
2. Increase the distance between the mouse’s receiver and the base units of other wireless devices.
3. Turn off any wireless devices and their base units that are near the mouse’s receiver.
4. 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.
I can’t use the mouse while another RF mouse is in use – what should I do?
Reset the identification code. See “Establishing a connection between the mouse and the RF receiver” on
page 3.
