Introduction

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.

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

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/Me 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 RF-pointing devices to operate your computer.

Connecting the RF-Mouse ID Code

When the driver installation is finished your computer reboots and the RF­Mouse 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.
