offering 20 times more sensitivity than a traditional LED
optical mouse. The images the laser receives are more
detailed, with higher contrast. The mouse can track more
reliably, even on reflective surfaces, and its small footprint
makes it ideal for portable computing.

NAKED EYE. BECAREFUL NOT TO LOOK DIRECTLY INTO THE EMITTER HOLE

Mouse Power Management
• To power the mouse on and off, slide the on/off switch
at the bottom of the mouse to the desired position.
• When power is on, the mouse goes into "sleep mode"
after 8 minutes of non-use. To activate the mouse,
press any mouse button.
Safety Measures
• Although this mouse is a Class 1 Laser Product and
safe for operation, avoid pointing the laser into the eyes
or looking directly into the laser emitter.
• Keep the mouse away from young children.
• Any attempt to disassemble, adjust or repair the mouse
may result in exposure to laser light or other safety
hazards.
Operating Hints
For optimal performance and RF reception:
• Place the receiver at least 8 inches (20 cm) away from
all electrical devices, such as your monitor, speakers or
external storage devices.
If necessary, use the supplied extension cable to keep
the receiver away from the computer. Plug the
receiver into the extension cable, and the extension
cable to the computer.

• Avoid 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.
• The mouse will enter a suspend mode at the same time
your computer does. To activate the mouse press any
mouse button.
• If 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.
Troubleshooting
What do I do if the mouse does not work?
• Make sure that the polarity of the batteries is correct.
The positive (+) and negative (-) ends of each battery
must match the positive (+) and negative (-)
connections in the battery housing.
• Make sure that the batteries are fully charged. Check
your computer’s suspend mode settings, as the mouse
will not charge while the computer is in suspend mode.
• Check that the receiver's USB connector is firmly
attached to the USB port on your computer.
• Make sure you have established a wireless link
between the mouse and its receiver. See
“Synchronization” on page 7.

I do not see the laser light when the mouse is
active.
• Unlike traditional optical mice, the light is not visible
when the laser mouse is active.
• To make sure the mouse is on and functioning properly,
move the mouse back and forth and check to see if the
cursor responds.
My mouse does not work on a mirror or glass
surface.
• Though rated for most of these kinds of surfaces,
occasionally there will be one such surface that will
cause the mouse to work improperly or not at all.
• If you are using the mouse on a reflective or mirrored
surface, move it to another surface.
What do I do if the response time of the mouse
is slow or the mouse intermittently stops
working?
• Metals, such as iron, aluminum or copper may slow
down the mouse's response time or cause the mouse
to fail temporarily.
• If you are using the mouse on a metal surface, move it
and the receiver to a non-metal surface.
