NEVER POINT A LASER BEAM INTO A
PERSON’S EYES OR VIEW A LASER BEAM
DIRECTLY, AS PROLONGED EXPOSURE CAN
BE HAZARDOUS TO THE EYES.
MOMENTARY EXPOSURE FROM A LASER
POINTER, SUCH AS AN INADVERTENT
SWEEP OF THE LIGHT ACROSS A PERSON'S
EYES, MAY CAUSE TEMPORARY FLASH
BLINDNESS SIMILAR TO THE EFFECT OF A
CAMERA FLASH BULB. ALTHOUGH THIS
CONDITION IS TEMPORARY, IT CAN
BECOME MORE DANGEROUS IF THE
EXPOSED PERSON IS ENGAGED IN A
VISION-CRITICAL ACTIVITY SUCH AS
DRIVING.

Charging the Batteries
For best results, you should charge the mouse at least 8
hours before using it. You can do this via the supplied
USB charge cable. To do this:
1 Connect the cable’s USB connector into an available
USB port on your computer
2 Connect the other end to the mouse.
NOTE: TO CONTINUOUSLY CHARGE THE MOUSE VIA THE USB CHARGE CABLE,
YOUR COMPUTER MUST BE ON AND AWAKE. FOR BEST RESULTS,TURN OFF
YOUR COMPUTER’S POWER MANAGEMENT FEATURE WHILE CHARGING THE
MOUSE.
Establishing a Communica-
tions Link
The 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 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 below:
Make sure that your computer is turned on and has
detected the USB receiver before you establish a
communications link.

Operating Hints
For optimal performance and RF reception:
• Place the receiver at least 20cm 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, simply
move the mouse.
• 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.
• Never use the mouse on a glass or mirrored surface as
these surfaces will cause the mouse to fail temporarily.
• To maximize battery life, use the 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.
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.
