you can use the USB extension cable:

If you have Windows 98 SE installed on your computer, you must also install the USB drivers
for your new device:

- If prompted by Windows to do so, insert the Windows 98 SE CD-ROM into your computer’s
CD-ROM drive in order to install the required system files.
- Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the installation.
USING THE WIRELESS MINI-MOUSE
If the mini-mouse does not respond once you have started up your computer, you will have to establish
communication between the transmitter/receiver and the mini-mouse. To do this:
1. Press the +button on the transmitter/receiver.
The green LED on the transmitter/receiver flashes.
2. Without delay, press the ID Connect button on the back of the mini-mouse.
Communication is established between the mini-mouse and the transmitter/receiver. You can now use the
wireless mini-mouse.
Note: your mini-mouse has a battery life of approximately 100 hours and automatically switches to standby
mode after 10 minutes of inactivity.
To switch off the mini-mouse: press and hold the ID Connect button on the back of the mini-mouse for
three seconds (the red LED flashes). Press this button again to switch the mini-mouse back on.
CHARGING AND RECHARGING THE WIRELESS MINI-MOUSE
Even though your mini-mouse has already been charged so that it is functional when you open up your
Nomads’ Wireless Pack, you will still have to charge it completely. Once this has been done, the green
LED on the mini-mouse’s left-hand side will flash when the batteries need recharging. Follow the
instructions below to charge or recharge your mini-mouse:
1. Connect the shorter connector on the recharging cable to the transmitter/receiver.

2. Connect the longer connector on the recharging cable to the port on the mini-mouse.
A green LED on the mini-mouse’s left-hand side lights up, indicating that it is powered on. The
mini-mouse begins to charge. Your mini-mouse remains functional while it is being charged or recharged.
The green LED on the mini-mouse’s left-hand side switches off when charging is complete.
Note: the initial charging time is approximately 7 hours. Subsequently, the normal recharging time is
approximately 2 hours 30 minutes.
3. Once charging is complete, you may disconnect the recharging cable and use the wireless mini-mouse
at a distance from your computer.
CONNECTING THE NUMERIC KEYPAD AND EARPHONES
1. Connect the numeric keypad’s USB connector to one of your laptop’s USB ports.
A green LED lights up on the numeric keypad; the keypad is locked numerically by default. Your numeric
keypad features two USB ports which you can use to connect USB peripherals such as a printer, digital
camera, webcam, external audio module, etc.
As the numeric keypad is not powered by an external power source, it may happen that
the keypad will not accept certain USB peripherals which require a great deal of power, such as some
vibrating game controllers for example (gamepad or racing wheel) or even some printers.
If you have Windows 98 SE installed on your computer, you must also install the USB drivers
for the numeric keypad:
- Click on Next in the dialog box that appears.
- If prompted by Windows to do so, insert the Windows 98 SE CD-ROM into your computer’s
CD-ROM drive in order to install the required system files.
- Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the installation.
2. Connect the earphones’ connector to the headphone plug on your computer.
Give the retractable earphone cable a sharp little tug to release it or lock it in place at the length you
require.
