Operating Hints
For optimal performance and RF reception:
• Place the receiver at least 8 inches (20 cm) away from all
electrical devices, such as your monitor, speakers or external
storage devices.
• Avoid using the optical 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.
• The optical mouse will enter a suspend mode at the same time
your computer does. To wake the mouse, press and release the
screen scroller (middle) button.
• If your computer has a metal case that contains aluminum or
magnesium, use the optical 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 optical mouse on a glass or mirrored surface as
these surfaces will cause the mouse to fail temporarily.
• To maximize battery life, use the optical mouse on a white, or
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.
