Low Battery Indicator Light
When the battery charge is running low, the LED on the scroller wheel glows.
NOTE: If the indicator light is glowing, it is highly recommended that you charge the mouse as soon as possible to properly maintain the battery.
Once the indicator light starts glowing, the mouse’s internal controller begins monitoring the battery’s voltage level. When this level reaches its lowest point, depending on how often you use the mouse, the mouse enters power off mode. To power on the mouse, fully charge the battery then press the mouse’s connect button to resume normal operation.
Connecting the Mouse Receiver
To connect the mouse receiver:
1Turn off your computer.
2Plug the USB receiver into an available USB port on your computer.
3Turn on your computer and follow any
Establishing a Communications
Link

After your computer detects the USB receiver and the driver software is installed, you must establish a communications link between the mouse and its receiver BEFORE you can use the mouse. To establish this link, you need to set the identification code so that the mouse works properly. To do this:
1 Press and release the link button on the receiver.

Mouse Power Management
Powering the Mouse Off and On
To power the mouse off, move the on/off switch to the off position. To turn it back on, move the switch back to the on position.
Power Save Modes
To conserve the battery, the mouse reduces its power consumption gradually when not in use, via power saving modes, as follows:
Standby mode | When the mouse stops moving, it |
| immediately enters standby mode. It |
| stays in this mode for 30 seconds if |
| movement isn’t detected. |
|
|
Flash mode | After 30 seconds of |
| mouse enters flash mode. It stays in this |
| mode for 20 minutes if movement isn’t |
| detected. |
| While in flash mode, the mouse’s |
| optical sensor turns off and on |
| intermittently to not only conserve |
| battery power, but allow the user prompt |
| access to the cursor if movement is |
| resumed. |
|
|
Sleep mode | After 20 minutes of |
| mouse enters sleep mode and turns off |
| the optical sensor. You must wake the |
| mouse to resume normal operation from |
| this mode. |

Waking the Mouse To wake the mouse from sleep mode, press any button on the mouse to resume normal operation.
Operating Hints
For optimal performance and RF reception:
•Turn off your computer’s power management feature before charging the mouse so that your computer doesn’t enter sleep mode, which temporarily haults the charging process.
•Place the receiver at least 8 inches (20 cm) away from all electrical devices, such as your monitor, speakers or external storage devices.
If necessary, use the
•Avoid using the 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 mouse will enter a suspend mode at the same time your computer does. To activate the mouse, press any button.
•If your computer has a metal case that contains aluminum or magnesium, use the 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 mouse on a glass or mirrored surface as these surfaces will cause the mouse to fail temporarily.
•To maximize battery life, use the 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.
To reduce the risk of injury, follow these precautions:
•Stand, stretch, and move around several times every hour.
•Switch hands while performing tasks. Use shortcut keys to avoid repetitive or awkward mouse movements.
•Relax your shoulders and keep your elbows at your sides. Adjust the keyboard’s position so that you don’t have to stretch to reach it.
•Adjust your position so that you don’t have to bend your wrists to type; avoid placing your wrists on a sharp edge.
If you feel discomfort or numbness in your hands, wrists, arms, shoulders, neck, or back while typing, consult a qualified medical professional.
Things to Remember

•To extend the life of your batteries, turn off the mouse while traveling.
