Wireless Installation
To Establish a Wireless Connection:
After placing batteries in the mouse, make sure that the slide switch (3)
on the underside of the mouse is in the “on”position.
Plug the USB Wireless Receiver into a USB port on your computer.
Your mouse should now be ready to use.
Re-establishing a Wireless Connection:
If the connection between your mouse and receiver is broken (mouse is in
proper working order working with good batteries, and the receiver is installed
properly, yet it is not working), or if you are experiencing interference (often
detected by erratic or halted cursor movement), you may need to re-establish
a wireless connection.
Batter Installation
Please be sure the batteries are installed properly in the mouse. The proper
orientation for the batteries is indicated in the battery compartment for
each device.
Average battery life for your wireless mouse is 2-3 months, depending on usage.
The wireless receiver indicator light will turn red when your batteries are low.

Common Troubleshooting Steps
1. Unplug and re-plug the receiver. Repeat steps listed on pages 3 & 4 to
re-establish a wireless connection
2. Install a fresh set of batteries in the mouse
3. Test the device on another USB port or computer.
4. Some surfaces may “trick” the laser sensor, such as reflective surfaces like
glass or mirrors. The laser sensor should perform well on all other surfaces.
5. If you would like to program buttons, have advanced acceleration control or
set a rest reminder, please visit www.software.kensington.com to download
the latest MouseWorks software. Be sure to install the correct version for
your mouse.
6. To establish a wireless connection, see instructions on pages 3 & 4.
7. To save battery power, turn off the mouse when not in use. See instructions
on page 6.
To Re-establish a Wireless Connection:
With the USB receiver in position and mouse turned on, press the “connect”
button on the receiver (1), and within 10 seconds, also press the “connect” button
on the bottom of the mouse (2). You have now established a new connection for
the mouse.
If this does not work, try repeating these steps while holding the mouse close
to the receiver. This step may need to be repeated 2–3 times for the mouse
to synchronize.
If necessary, repeat this procedure after replacing depleted batteries.
IMPORTANT: This wireless device is similar to an FM radio, the position
of our computer and surrounding objects (especiall metal objects) ma
effect our wireless reception and range (average range is approximatel
10 meters or 30 feet).
NOTE: Unlike older optical mice, a laser mouse does not emit
visible light. Your new mouse will operate correctl even if ou do
not see a light.
Installing Kensington MouseWorks®software
To access full functionality for your new mouse install Kensington
MouseWorks®software. The install is optional; your mouse will function
without installing the software.

Comfort Guidelines
Please visit Health Computing.com
for helpful comfort tips when
using this device.
Important: Computer User Health Information
In recent years, medical attention on occupational injuries has identified
normal, seemingly harmless activities as a potential cause of a wide range of
problems collectively known as Repetitive Stress Injuries (RSI) or Cumulative
Trauma Disorders (CTD). It is now recognized that any repetitive motion
may contribute to these health problems. As a computer user, you might
also be at risk.
By paying attention to the way you perform your work, use your computer
and phone, play sports, and work around the house, you can identify the
behaviors that may be putting you at risk. If you experience pain, swelling,
numbness, or weakness in your wrists or hands (especially during sleep),
see your physician immediately. or helpful information, visit
www.Health Computing.com or a reputable book.
Optional Batter Saving Feature
To preserve battery life when not using the mouse for long periods of time,
slide the switch (3) to off.
