to your computer, install default software drivers and set up the
radio link for the following RF mouse models:

Using the RF Mouse
Installing the Batteries
1 If the mouse is on, slide the on/off switch on the bottom of
the mouse to the “off” position.
2 Remove the battery cover from the top of the mouse by
pressing the battery cover hinge located on the bottom of
the mouse and sliding it off.
NOTE: The battery cover is also the top cover of the mouse.
3 Insert the supplied batteries, making sure that the positive
(+) and negative (-) ends of each battery match the polarity
indicators inside the battery housing.
WARNINGS: When replacing the batteries, you may use
alkaline or other heavy-duty NiMH batteries. Never use an
alkaline with a NiMH battery in a device.
Avoid mixing new and used batteries in a device.
4 Slide the battery cover back into position until it “clicks”
firmly into place.
5 Turn on the mouse be sliding the on/off switch on the
bottom of the mouse to the “on” position.
The optical sensor, located on the bottom of the mouse,
glows red.

Establishing a Communications Link
(All RF Mouse Models)
The RF mouse has 256 identification codes that allow the
mouse and its receiver to operate without interference from
other radio frequency devices.
After your computer detects the USB receiver and the driver
software is installed, you must establish a communications link
between the mouse and its receiver BEFORE you can use the
mouse. To establish this link, you need to set the identification
code so that the mouse works properly. To do this, follow the
instructions for your mouse model.
Mouse Model PAWM10
Make sure that your computer is turned on and has detected the
USB receiver before you establish a communications link.
1 Press and release the link button on the receiver.

The USB connector rotates 90 degrees to facilitate easy
connection to your computer.
The receiver’s red status light blinks when the receiver is
activated.
2 Press and release the reset button, located on the bottom of
the mouse.
You are now ready to use the RF mouse.

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.
PAWM10 Mouse
When power is on, the mouse goes into "sleep mode" after 8
minutes of no use. To activate the mouse, touch the sensor
strips on the side with your hand.
To save battery power, turn off the mouse while traveling or
when you’re not using it.
CAUTION: Turning off the mouse will require you to
synchronize again the next time you turn it back on.
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 a 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.
• Avoid using the RF 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 RF mouse will enter a suspend mode at the same time
your computer does. To activate the mouse, touch the sensor
strips on the side of the mouse.
• If your computer has a metal case that contains aluminum or
magnesium, use the RF 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.
• Never use the RF mouse on a glass or mirrored surface as
these surfaces will cause the mouse to fail temporarily.
• To maximize battery life, use the RF 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.
Comfortable Usage
Research suggests that physical discomfort and injury to
nerves, tendons, and muscles may be related to repetitive
motion, an improperly set up work area, incorrect body
posture, and poor work habits.
To reduce the risk of injury, follow these precautions:
• Stand, stretch, and move around several times every hour.
• Switch hands while performing tasks. Use shortcut keys to
avoid repetitive or awkward mouse movements.
• Relax your shoulders and keep your elbows at your sides.
Adjust the keyboard’s position so that you don’t have to
stretch to reach it.
• Adjust your position so that you don’t have to bend your
wrists to type; avoid placing your wrists on a sharp edge.

If you feel discomfort or numbness in your hands, wrists, arms,
shoulders, neck, or back while typing, consult a qualified
medical professional.
