System Requirements
To use the RF mouse, your computer must meet the
following hardware requirements and run one of the
operating systems listed below.
NOTE: The third button and the scrolling wheel only work with
the operating systems listed above. If you use the RF mouse
with a different operating system, it will lose its enhanced
features and function as a standard, two-button mouse.

Using the RF Mouse
Installing the Batteries
1Remove the battery cover from the bottom of the
mouse by pressing the battery cover tab and
siding it off.
NOTE: If you have a model PAUM005 RF mouse, the battery
cover is also the top cover of the mouse.

Targus Wireless RF Mouse 6
2Insert the supplied batteries, making sure that
the positive (+) and negative (-) ends of each
battery match the polarity indicators inside the
battery housing.
3Slide the battery cover back into position until it
“clicks” firmly into place.
If you have a model PAUM005 RF mouse, the
optical sensor, located on the bottom of the mouse,
glows red.
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.
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.
To set the identification code and establish a radio
link between the mouse and the receiver:
1Press and release the link button, located on the
bottom of the RF mouse.
2Press and release the link button on the
receiver.

Targus Wireless RF Mouse 7
The receiver’s status light flashes while it scans the
identification codes for the mouse. Once a code is
selected, the status light stops flashing.
3Press and release the screen scroller (middle)
button.
You are now ready to use the RF mouse.
NOTE: You must reestablish the communications link every
time you change the batteries.
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.
•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 wake the
mouse, press and release the screen scroller
(middle) button.
•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.

Targus Wireless RF Mouse 8
If you are using an optical RF mouse (model
PAUM005):
•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.

Targus Wireless RF Mouse 9
•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 RF 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.
•Check that the receiver’s USB connector is firmly
attached to the USB port on your computer.

Targus Wireless RF Mouse 12
•Verify that the device drivers are installed.
•Make sure you have established a radio link
between the mouse and its receiver. See
“Establishing a Communications Link (All RF
Mouse Models)” on page 6.
When I use the RF mouse, other wireless devices
work more slowly or fail temporarily – what should I
do?
The mouse may cause interference with any
cordless, radio-based device that operates at 27
MHz, such as a telephone, baby monitor, or toy. To
reduce interference, move the mouse’s receiver and
the base unit of the affected device as far away from
each other as possible.
What do I do if the response time of the RF mouse is
slow or the mouse intermittently stops working?
•Increase the distance between the mouse’s
receiver and the rest of your computer equipment.
•Increase the distance between the mouse’s
receiver and the base units of other wireless
devices.
•Turn off any wireless devices and their base units
that are near the mouse’s receiver.
•If you are using the RF mouse on a metal surface,
move it and the receiver to a non-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.

I can’t use the RF mouse while another RF mouse is
in use – what should I do?
Reset the identification code. See “Establishing a
Communications Link (All RF Mouse Models)” on
page 6.
