Introduction
Congratulations on your purchase of the Belkin Optical
Mouse, a revolutionary mouse designed for today’s
sophisticated computer user. Not only will you find this
mouse resoundingly easy to use, but also incredibly
versatile. Try it on the floor,
try it on a lampshade, try it on your leg…try it just
about anywhere.
You’ll be amazed by the precision of the Optical Mouse,
moving smoother than other mice on conventional mouse
pads. No longer will you need a mouse pad to get optimal
performance, which is perfect for computer users who
don’t have a lot of space. And without a rubber ball that
picks up dirt and debris from everyday use, you won’t
have to continuously clean your Optical Mouse. This lowmaintenance device stays smooth and precise.
Other features include a scroll wheel, which eliminates the
need for a scroll bar as you move fluidly through websites
and documents. Using the Optical Mouse scroll wheel also
reduces movement for less strain on your wrist and easier
navigation through computer programs. Four-directional
scrolling increases viewing options. Scroll horizontally or
vertically with one click of the wheel. You can even browse
at multiple speeds. Browse fast or slow—you decide!
One-Touch Zoom Control gives you control of the zoom
feature provided by your Windows®system. Now you can
instantly enlarge or reduce your viewing screen.
So, enjoy and thank you for choosing Belkin!

2. Hardware Installation
Hardware Installation
Your mouse connects to either a PS/2 mouse port or a
Universal Serial Bus (USB) port. To check, examine the
back of your computer for the port designated for your
mouse. Some PCs have the word "MOUSE" marked next to
the PS/2 connector. If you are still unsure, please refer to
your hardware manual. For USB mouse port installation,
simply remove the USB-PS/2 adapter from the end of the
connector before plugging the mouse into the computer.
USB Installation
a. Locate the Universal Serial Bus (USB) port on the back
of your computer.
b. Plug your mouse into the port. Check the box in which
your mouse was shipped to verify the ports supported.
c. Sometimes, when connecting the mouse into a USB
port, Windows®will detect the mouse and start the A d d
New Hardware Wizard. I f this does not happen, go to
step "d". If the Wizard does come up, follow the
on-screen instructions.
