Modifi cations to this device shall not be made without the written consent of 3M Company. Unauthorized modifi cations may void the authority granted under Federal Communication Rules permitting the operation of this device. Note: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. To determine if your mouse is causing interference to other radio-communication devices, disconnect the device from your computer or remove the device batteries. If the interference stops, it was probably caused by the mouse. If the interference continues after you disconnect the mouse, or remove the batteries, turn the computer off and then on again. If the interference stopped when the computer was off, check to see if one of the input/ output (I/O) devices or one of the computer’s internal accessory boards is causing the problem. Disconnect the I/O devices one at a time to see if the interference stops. If this hardware device does cause interference, try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:

• Relocate the antenna of the other radio-communications device (for example AM/FM radios, televisions, baby monitors, cordless phones, etc.) until the interference stops.

Move the hardware device farther away from the radio or TV, or move it to one side or the other of the radio or TV.

• Plug the computer into a different power outlet so that the hardware device and radio or TV are on different circuits controlled by different circuit breakers or fuses.

• If necessary, ask your computer dealer or an experienced radio-TV technician for more suggestions. This product is rated as a commercial product for operation at 32°F (0°C) ~ 104°F (40°C).GB-14 Limited Two-Year Warranty for 3M
