GME421 USER'S MANUAL
Congratulations on your new IOGEAR purchase!
The 4D Optical Web Cruiser is of the latest in computer peripheral technology. With the advent
of optical technology in computer mice, the days of ball-mice are a thing of the past. Users of
ball-mice, or mice that use a rolling ball to navigate, all share the common frustrations of dirty
rollers. When the rollers become dirty, the mouse begins to skip and jump from location to
location. Since the Web Cruiser has no moving parts, dirty rollers are no longer an issue. Great
for gamers and graphics artists alike!
With an integrated 4-way scrolling ball, the Web Cruiser makes surfing the web and browsing
documents a snap. Not only does the scrolling ball ease Web browsing, it doubles as a
handheld, fully functional, trackball! So you can lie back in your favorite chair, free of desks or
tables, and browse with comfort.
Once again, IOGEAR lays the standard for connectivity!
With a growing number of the general populous with Internet access, we encourage our
customers to check out our web site http://www.iogear.com/support for general troubleshooting
information, FAQ, and other related documents in our T.I.L. (Technical Information Library).
