Operating Hints

For optimal performance and RF reception:

• Turn off your computer's power management feature while charging the mouse so that your computer does not enter sleep mode as this will halt the charging process.
• 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.

- 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 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 battery is correct. The positive (+) and negative (-) ends of the battery must match the positive (+) and negative (-) connections in the battery housing.
• Make sure that the mouse is fully charged and your computer is on and awake. Before you start, turn off your computer's power management feature while charging the mouse.
• Check that the receiver's USB connector is firmly attached to the USB port on your computer.

When I use the mouse, other wireless devices work more slowly or fail temporarily – what should I do?

• The mouse has 256 IDs to prevent interference. However, some interference may still occur if there are multiple radio-based devices, such as a telephone, baby monitor, or toy nearby.

• To reset the connection, press the reset button at the bottom of the mouse. See “Switching IDs”.

• To reduce interference, move the mouse's receiver and the base unit of the affected device as far away from each other as possible.

• Adjust the angle of the antenna on the side of the receiver.
