USB Connection with a Macintosh Computer
The Targus USB - PS/2 Scroller Mini Mouse’s use is restricted with a
Macintosh computer. Macintosh supports only a one-button mouse.
PS/2 Connection with Windows 95, 98, NT 4.0, or 2000
Shut down Windows and turn off the computer. Disconnect the existing
mouse, if any. Connect the PS/2 Adapter to the USB connector of the
mouse. Plug the PS/2 Adapter into the computer’s PS/2 port. Turn on the
power. When Windows restarts, its software drivers will enable only the
standard scrolling features.
Warning: Never point the optical sensor toward the face, particularly
the eyes.
Do not use the optical mouse on a surface which is made of glass,
mirror, iron, or black velvet. The optical sensor performs best on
surfaces with detail to track. It may have difficulty tracking on
repetitive patterns, e.g. printed photographs from magazines.
