1.2 Connecting the receiver to the PC

➤ Insert the receiver into any desired USB port on your PC. 2 Installation of the Cherry KeyM@n software The Cherry KeyM@n software is a powerful and extensive program. By using this software, you can assign links, programs, system functions and even any text you desire to the mouse buttons. You can thereby call up frequently used functions by pres- sing a key.

2.1 Installing KeyM@n software in Win-

dows 98/ME/2000/XP 1 Place the Cherry CD in your CD-ROM drive. The CD-ROM starts automatically. The Installa- tion window is displayed. 2 If the CD-ROM does not start automatically, click the CD-ROM drive in Windows Explorer and then the Start.exe start file. The Installation window is displayed. 3 Click on the Cherry product for which you would like to install the software. The installation begins. 4 Follow the installation instructions on the screen.

• Start/Programs/Cherry Keyboard Manager/ Mouse properties

• Start/Settings/Control Panel/Mouse 3 Recharging the batteries 1 Insert the hollow connector of the charging cable into the socket on the front of the mouse.8 2 Connect the charging cable to a USB port of the PC. You can continue working while charging is taking place.

3.1 Tips for charging the alkaline batte-

ries A complete charge of the alkaline batteries lasts approx. 12 to 18 hours. The charging circuit pre- vents overcharging. When a red LED flashes on the receiver, the batte- ries must be charged. Proper charging extends the service life of the alkaline batteries. Caution! Alkaline batteries are damaged when charged with a conventional charging unit 1 Charge alkaline batteries of the mouse with the charging cable only. 2 Do not use an external charging unit. 4 Using the functions of the mouse Prerequisite for optimal use Using the mouse on a bright, textured surface increases its effectiveness:

• optimal movement detection

• longer battery life Reflective surfaces are not suitable for use with the mouse.

4.1 Inserting the batteries into the mouse

1 Press the latch c on the underside of the mouse to the middle of the mouse. 2 At the same time, slide the cover of the battery compartment on the back of the mouse towards the top of the mouse. 3 Insert both included rechargeable alkaline AA (LR6) batteries in the battery compartment in accordance with the +/– markings.9 4 Slide the cover of the battery compartment from the top of the mouse into the side guides until it locks.

4.2 Switching the mouse off/on

Switch the mouse off to save power and to protect it against unintended actuation during transport. 1 Keep the left and right mouse buttons and the wheel button pressed simultaneously for 3 seconds. The mouse is switched off. 2 Keep the left and right mouse buttons and the wheel button pressed simultaneously again for 3 seconds. The mouse is switched on again.

4.3 Activating Cherry Power Safe Mode

The Cherry Power Safe Mode switches the mouse off after 17 minutes of not being moved. The bat- tery service life is extended by approx. 15 % by this. Pressing a mouse button or actuating the wheel switches it back on. Small DIP switches The DIP switches of the mouse in particular are very small due to the compact size. Use a pointed object to change the switch setting. 1 Open the battery compartment of the mouse. 2 Set DIP switch 6 to the ON setting. 3 Close the battery compartment. 5 Encryption (CONNECT)

5.1 Activating encryption

Encryption of the wireless transmission The mouse is ready for operation following connec- tion and is unencrypted at the factory. You can conveniently activate encryption via the Cherry KeyM@n software or on the receiver. 1 Navigate to the Wireless tab of the Cherry KeyM@n software: Start/Settings/Control Panel/Mouse/Wireless, click on the CON- NECT button and follow the on-screen instruc- tions. – or – Press the button on top of the receiver until the red LED flashes. 2 Press the CONNECT button on the underside of the mouse until the red LED goes out.10 Automatic deactivation of encryption with remo- val of batteries Encryption is deactivated when you remove the batteries from the mouse for 1 minute. It must be reactivated each time after the batteries are remo- ved.

5.2 Deactivating encryption (Resetting

devices to state of delivery) Resetting the receiver 1 Remove the receiver from the USB port. 2 Keep the CONNECT button on the top of the receiver pressed and insert the receiver back into the USB port. Resetting mouse 1 Remove the batteries from the mouse for 1 minute. 2 Set the DIP switches of the mouse transmission frequency to channel 1. See Chap. 6 "Sendefrequenz einstellen". 3 Reinsert the batteries in the mouse. 6 Setting the transmission frequency 1 Open the battery compartment of the mouse. 2 Change the position of the DIP switches 1 to 4 of the mouse according to Table Chap. 6.1 "Sendefrequenzen". Switch toward position digit = OFF. Switch away from position digit = ON. 3 Reactivate encryption. See Chap.

5.1 "Verschlüsselung aktivieren".

6.1 Transmission frequencies

The devices are factory-set to channel 1. Switch toward position digit = OFF. Switch away from position digit = ON. Transmission frequencies that can be set: 7 Setting the transmission output The maximum transmission output is set when the product is delivered. With optimal environmental conditions, you can achieve a maximum range of approx. 20 m. It makes sense to decrease the transmission output to reduce power consumption. Please note that the transmission security is reduced with decreased transmission output. Additional related information is found in Chap.
