OVERVIEW

Why be tethered to a computer during your presenta­tions? Get our Remote-Control Mouse with Laser and free
yourself to be more effective.

The Mouse is wireless: Its infrared transmitter can control
the cursor from up to 32 ft. (10 m) away from the receiver. (Of
course, you’ll need to install the two included AAA batteries
and plug the receiver into a serial port on your computer.)

Slim and lightweight, the Mouse can be carried in, and
controlled with, either the left or right hand. Press your
thumb along the rim of its round, flat “joyplate” to move the
cursor in any direction. Push the trigger on the bottom of the
unit to simulate clicking the left mouse button. Press either
of the two joined buttons just below the joyplate to simulate
clicking the right mouse button. Turn the Mouse around and
press the red button to check the Mouse’s batteries; if the LED
above the button lights, the batteries are low. (Pressing this
button also causes the Mouse to emit its laser pointer from
that end of the unit.)

The other eleven buttons on the Mouse can be customized
with any of sixteen different special effects, functions, and
hotkeys available through the included Mouse-utility
Windows

®

software. (It is Microsoft®Windows 95/98 and

Windows NT

®

compatible and comes on a 3.5" diskette.) These
effects, which are also accessible by clicking on the software’s
Mouse icon in the Windows desktop, include “capture
screen,” “run program,” “play sound,” and “magnify”
(see Technically Speaking below).

With the Mouse, you can:

• Move around the classroom while you teach Windows
apps.

• Use the included effects software to zoom in on and circle
an elegant detail in your presentation.

• Highlight especially important items with the laser pointer
on the Remote-Control Mouse with Laser.
