Frequently Asked Questions - TWINTOUCH PLUS OPTICAL GENIUS

How to install the receiver and connect the mouse and keyboard?

Connect the green (mouse) and purple (keyboard) connectors of the receiver to the corresponding PS/2 ports on the computer. Insert two AA batteries into the mouse and two into the keyboard. Turn on the PC and within six seconds, press in sequence the receiver button (RB), keyboard button (KB), receiver again (RB), and mouse button (MB) to synchronize the channels.

What to do if the mouse or keyboard does not work?

First check the batteries: replace them if the receiver light flashes red. Make sure the channel setting was done correctly. Keep the receiver at least 20 cm away from any electrical device and place the mouse on a flat, non-reflective surface (no glass, mirror, or metal).

How to replace the batteries of the mouse or keyboard?

Open the battery compartment located under the device. Insert two new AA batteries respecting the polarity. After each battery change, you must repeat the channel setting procedure (RB, KB, RB, MB) to re-establish the connection.

On which surfaces does the mouse optical sensor work?

The optical mouse requires a flat, matte surface. Absolutely avoid glass, mirrors, iron (bare metal), and black velvet as they disturb the sensor. On a metal desk, use a mouse pad.

How to customize the mouse buttons?

Install the provided MouseMate software (or download it from the GENIUS website). Open the control panel by double-clicking the icon in the taskbar. In the Button Assignments tab, you can assign functions like EasyJump, Auto-Panning, Zoom, or keyboard shortcuts to the left, right, scroll wheel, and side buttons.

What to do if the mouse moves jerky or does not respond?

This often indicates weak batteries (replace them). Also check that the receiver is unobstructed and within 20 cm of the mouse. If you use multiple TwinTouch+ Optical sets in the same room, interference may occur; keep the receivers apart.

How to uninstall the MouseMate software?

In Windows, click Start, go to Programs, find the mouse software folder, then click Uninstall software. You can also go through Control Panel > Add/Remove Programs.

Can I use this mouse with a computer without a PS/2 port?

The receiver is equipped with PS/2 connectors. If your computer only has USB ports, you will need a PS/2 to USB adapter (not included). Note: proper operation with an adapter is not guaranteed by the manufacturer.

How to use the Zoom function with the scroll wheel?

Hold down the Ctrl key and turn the Magic-Roller scroll wheel forward to zoom in, backward to zoom out. You can also assign the Ctrl function to the right button in MouseMate software, then press that button while turning the scroll wheel.

What does the flashing red light on the receiver mean?

The flashing red light indicates a low battery either in the mouse or the keyboard. Replace the batteries in both devices and repeat the channel setting procedure (RB, KB, RB, MB) to restore communication.
