Congratulations on your purchase! Your new RF-Mouse is easy to install and offers
you a host of useful features. The Radio receiver can be conveniently placed to give
you the freedom you need while working. The vertical wheel allows you to scroll, or
zoom in and out in a document. You can program the mouse buttons to launch the
NetJump or LuckyJump for a quick start to programs you run frequently. And, your
RF-Mouse has a unique ID code, so other RF (Radio Frequency) pointing devices
won’t affect your system.
Connecting the RF-Mouse Receiver
The RF-Mouse receiver connects to your
computer in the same way as a conventional
mouse allowing you to place the receiver
wherever is convenient on your desktop.
1. Locate the round 6-pin PS/2 mouse port on the
back of your computer.
2. Insert the PS/2 connector into the PS/2 port.
N
Locating the RF-Mouse Receiver
Your RF-Mouse has limitations on the range or distance from
the receiver. To make sure that your mouse sends and receives
properly, refer to the following:
1. For optimal performance, place the receiver at least 8
inches (20 centimeters) away from other electrical
devices, such as the computer, the monitor, or external
storage drives.
2. The RF-Mouse should be no farther than 3.3 feet (1.0
meter) from the mouse receiver. This will ensure optimal
communication between the mouse and receiver.
3. If you are working on a metallic surface, try using a
mouse pad and turning the receiver face down for better
reception.
4. Switch frequency channels to prevent interference from
other RF pointing devices. (See the following section for
more information.)
Selecting the Frequency Channel
— 2 —
The RF-Mouse operates on
two frequency channels. To
prevent interference when
using two RF Mice in close
proximity a different frequency
channel should be used for
each mouse. Refer to the
following to change the
frequency channel for your
mouse:
1. Set the frequency channel
on the receiver to 1 or 2.
2. Remove the battery cover
from the mouse (see the
following Inserting the
Batteries section).
3. Set the frequency channel
on the mouse to 1 or 2.
(The frequency channel for
mouse and receiver must be
the same.)

Inserting the Batteries
The RF-Mouse uses two AAA batteries. For
best performance, use only alkaline
batteries. Refer to the following to insert
the batteries:
1. Press the tab on the bottom of the
mouse cover as shown here and
remove the cover.
2. Insert the two AAA batteries. (The
correct polarity is indicated on the
battery compartment casing.)
3. Replace the cover.
Checking the Batteries power
To check the battery power, right-click the
mouse icon in the Taskbar. Choose the
“Check RF-Mouse Status” option to display
the RF-Mouse Status window. The current
battery percentage charge is shown.
Installing the Mouse Software
Before you can take advantage of the many features your mouse offers, you must
install the driver. The driver is on the installation diskette that came packaged with
your mouse.
Windows 95/98/2000/NT4.0 installation
1. Connect the mouse to your computer.
2. Insert the installation diskette into your floppy disk drive.
3. Click the Start button and then click Run.
4. In the Run dialog window, type A:\setup, where “A” is the letter of your
floppy disk drive.
5. Click OK and follow the instructions on your screen to complete the
installation.
The RF-Mouse ID code
Each RF-Mouse is assigned a unique ID code at manufacture, so the receiver only picks
up the signal from your mouse and prevents other RF-Mouse radio signals from
operating on your computer. This feature can also be disabled, allowing other RFpointing devices to operate your computer.
Connecting the RF-Mouse ID Code
— 4 —
When the driver installation is finished your
computer reboots and the RF-Mouse
window (shown on the right) appears.
CONNECT ID: Move the RF-Mouse for a
few seconds to establish a connection, then
click Connect ID. The unique ID code of
your mouse is recognized and another RF
pointing device will not function on your
computer.
Exit: Click Exit if no other RF pointing
devices are within 3 meters range or if you
want other RF pointing devices to be able to
access your computer.
Changing the RF-Mouse ID Code
You can use a new RF-Mouse on your computer without changing the Radio receiver;
you just need to change the ID code. Refer to the following:
1. Press [Shift + Alt + F11] or [Shift + Alt + F12] to call up the RF-Mouse ID Code
window.
2. Move the RF-Mouse for a few seconds to establish a connection, then click Connect
ID.
3. The new ID code is Connected and the RF-Mouse window closes.
4. Click Exit to close the RF-Mouse ID code window.
Identifying Components
The mouse is designed to fit snugly into your hand. The scroll
wheel is positioned on the top allowing for easy operation with
the index finger. Standard mouse buttons are positioned to either
side of the scroll wheels and can be reached comfortably with the
index and ring fingers. A third button is placed under the vertical
wheel and can be easily clicked by pushing down on the wheel.
The following pages will tell you how to configure the scroll
wheels and buttons to suit your specific needs.
Cleaning the Mouse
Clean the mouse regularly to ensure efficient operation. Refer to the following:
— 5 —
1. Rotate the housing cover counterclockwise until it unlocks
and remove it.
2. Remove the tracking ball.
3. Wash the tracking ball with warm water and soap then
allow it to dry.
4. Use a cotton swab and alcohol to clean the tracking rollers
in the housing.
5. Replace the tracking ball and the housing cover.
6. Rotate the housing cover clockwise until it locks in place.
