1.1 An Introduction to your new Belkin Mouse

Congratulations on your purchase of the Belkin MiniScroller Mouse, a revolutionary mouse designed for today's sophisticated computer user. You will find this mouse not only resoundingly easy to use but also incredibly versatile.

Mouse features include a scroll wheel, which eliminates the need for a scroll bar as you move fluidly through websites and documents. Using the MiniScroller Mouse scroll wheel also reduces movement, for less strain on your wrist and easier navigation through computer programs. Four-directional scrolling increases viewing options. Scroll horizontally or vertically with one click of the wheel. You can even browse at multiple speeds. Browse quickly or slowly—you decide!

One-Touch Zoom Control gives you control of the zoom feature provided by your Windows system. Now you can instantly enlarge or reduce your viewing screen.

Once the software has been loaded onto your computer, the center button of your mouse (the scroll wheel) can be programmed to perform the same tasks as:

"Left Button Double-Click"

"F1" through "F12"

"Enter" Key

"Page Up" Key

"Page Down" Key

"Home" Key

"End" Key

These can be used in place of your scrolling options.

Introduction

Miniscroller Optical Mouse

Try it on the floor, try it on a lamshade, try it on your leg...try it just about anywhere. You'll be amazed by the precision of the MiniScroller Optical Mouse, moving more smoothly than other mice on conventional mouse pads. No longer will you need a mouse pad to get optimal performance—which is perfect for computer users who don't have a lot of space.

And without a rubber ball that picks up dirt and debris from everyday use, you won't have to continuously clean your MiniScroller Optical Mouse. This no-maintenance-required device stays smooth and precise.

So enjoy—and thank you for choosing Belkin!

2.1 Hardware Installation

Your mouse connects to either a PS/2 mouse port or a Universal Serial Bus

(USB) port. To check, look at the back of your computer for the port that is designated for your mouse. Some PCs will have the word MOUSE marked next to the PS/2 connector. If you are still unsure, please refer to your hardware manual. For USB mouse port installation, simply remove the PS/2-USB adapter from the end of the connector before plugging the mouse into the computer.

PS/2 Installation

Troubleshooting

Problem #1:

Q: I can get into Windows or into "Safe Mode" but I cannot use the mouse.

A: If you have more than one driver, this could be causing your computer to boot in safe mode or not allow your mouse to work at all. To solve this problem, you must remove the excess drivers. If you are using a PS/2 mouse, then the driver must state that it is using a PS/2 driver. If you are using a USB mouse, then the driver must state that it is using a USB driver. Go to "Mouse Properties" (Start, Settings, Control Panel, Mouse) and look under the "General" tab. This will show you which driver is currently recognized by Windows. If this is not the same as the mouse you currently have plugged in, then you must remove this driver and install the correct one.

Problem #2:

Q: If I have more than one mouse driver how do I remove the driver without the mouse control? How do I boot into normal Windows® mode?

A: Use your "Windows®"Key at the bottom left hand corner of your keyboard. Then use your [Up Arrow] to select "Settings", then use your [Right Arrow] to select "Control Panel", and then press [Enter]. These steps have taken you to the "Control Panel" where you can gain access to your "Device Manager". The "Device Manager" shows your driver status and information and it will allow you to modify their settings.

After entering the "Control Panel" use your [Up and Down Arrows] to select "System" and then press [Enter]. After entering "System Properties" use your [Right Arrow] to select "Device Manager". Then press [Tab] until you have selected "Computer" and then use the [Down Arrow] until your "Mouse" is highlighted. Then use your [Right Arrow] to expand and select your mouse driver or drivers.

After you have chosen your mouse driver you can now modify it by removing the driver or changing the driver.

To remove the driver you have selected, use your [Tab] key until the "Remove" tab is selected. Then press [Enter]. This will remove the driver. Use your [Arrow Keys] to select any other drivers and repeat the process until all but one driver remains. Even if it is the wrong driver you can use it and change it to the mouse driver you want.

Troubleshooting (continued)

En

After removing or changing the mouse driver, use your [Tab] key until "Close" is selected and then press [Enter]. Then you will have to reboot your computer. Use your [Windows]* Key at the bottom left hand corner of your keyboard if you have one; if not, press [Alt] + [S] . Then use the [Up Arrow] to select "Shutdown" and use your [Enter] key. Use your [Arrow Key] to select "Restart" and press [Enter].

Problem #3:

Q: After installing the mouse driver and rebooting, my mouse will not work. How do I change the mouse driver without mouse control?

A: see Problem #2

Problem #4:

Q: Why does my external mouse not work with my laptop computer?

A: You may have to disable the onboard mouse in order to use an external mouse. Try looking in your CMOS or BIOS in order to disable the onboard mouse. If you do not have this option or do not know how to get into your BIOS or CMOS, please follow the instructions in your computer manual or call the computer dealer/ technical support for your computer.

How To Use Your Mouse

Care for Your Mouse

Maintenance of your Belkin (ball-style) Mouse is important. It is designed to provide years of trouble-free service. A self-cleaning ball cage helps prevent dust and lint from building up around the ball. However, if the pointer should skip or move abnormally on-screen, we recommend you clean your mouse manually.

a. First, turn the retainer ring counter clockwise to remove the ball
b. Wipe the ball with a clean lint-free cloth
c. Blow into the ball cage to dislodge any dust and lint. If there is build-up on the rubber rollers inside the ball cage, clean them using a cotton swab, lightly soaked with isopropyl alcohol to remove any debris.
d. User maintenance is not required on optical model mice.

Get to know your options!

Programming your scroll wheel couldn't get any easier. On the bottom right-hand corner of your screen, you will find a yellow box with an orange triangle in it. Click on it, then click "Open".

Starting with the Universal Scroll section, you will be allowed to choose and restrict the direction your mouse can scroll. "X-Scroll" and "Y-Scroll" are already selected for you. This allows you to scroll left/right and up/down, respectively. Clicking off the "X-Scroll" restricts scrolling to up and down only, while clicking off the "Y-Scroll" sets scrolling for left and right only. Clicking off both disables the scrolling features of the wheel.

The "Direction Reverse" field will reverse your scroll direction. Clicking it, depressing the wheel, and moving your mouse to the left lets you scroll to the right (and vice versa).

Your MiniScroller Optical Mouse will let you scroll by lines or by pages. Choosing to scroll by page is recommended for larger documents that you need to browse quickly. Clicking the scroll wheel once starts the "Auto Browse" mode, in which the appearance of the arrow changes to a dot with four arrows directed away from it. Moving the mouse in the direction that you wish to browse scrolls the page in that direction. Scrolling speed is also adjustable in this mode: the further the pointer gets from your original point, the faster the scrolling occurs.
