Introduction
Gemini-R18 is designed for long distance wireless operation on Windows XP Media
Center Edition system. Plug in Gemini-R18’s mini-receiver to your USB port and
you can use this wireless combo without cable cluttering on your desk. The wireless
operational range can reach up to 10 meters in open space depending on the radio
interference in the environment.
Its two-way RF technology will automatically switch its 79 channels and 11
IDs/channel when it encountered radio band interference with other surrounded
2.4GHz devices such as another Gemini-R18, Wi-Fi wireless LAN 802.11 a/b/g,
Bluetooth, DECT digital telephone, etc. There is no need to worry about the RF
interference between Gemini-R18 and other 2.4GHz devices.
The mouse of this combo set is equipped with high performance CMOS optical sensor
and performs high speed motion detection up to 37 inches per second. The
embedded 1000dpi optical resolution sensor can accurately stimulate motions over a
wide range of surfaces.
The mouse has low power consumption and 4-step smart power saving function. It
will enter into rest mode when the mouse is not moving in 1 second to save the power
consumption. It will enter into sleep mode after 7 seconds of rest mode, and further
enter into power-down mode after 7 minutes of sleep mode for minimum power
consumption. It will wake up instantly into normal mode when moving is detected.
For using in the USB environment of Windows 2000/XP/XP MCE/Vista Gemini-R18
does not require any driver. Just plug and play. However, the MCE hotkeys won’t
work, if you are operating under Windows 2000/XP system.
