Getting Started

Congratulations on your purchase of the multi-channel RF (Radio Frequency) optical
mouse. By using the advanced RF technology, a 360°of operation is possible, and no

line-of-sight is required between the receiver and the mouse. This mouse provides a high
resolution of 800dpi, which will bring users the best operation accuracy and efficiency,
especially for a display resolution at 1024*768 or higher. Since it has a double operation
speed, it requires only 1/4 operational space comparing to that required by a 400dpi
mouse.
Owing to the integration of multi-channel solution, this mouse is also an idea pointing
device to be used in an office without considering the arrangement of desk to desk, or in a
meeting room where two or more attendants are operating their own RF wireless mice.

Package Contains

Your DC-2038 Mouse package includes the following:

1. A multi-channel RF optical mouse (Transmitter)

2. A thumb size USB receiver

3. A user’s manual
Note: If any part of this package is missing, please contact your dealer for a replacement

Precaution

! The optical mouse cannot work on a glass or mirror surface. Avoid operating this

mouse on a glossy surface, otherwise, this mouse may not operate normally.

! For consideration of saving battery power, it is strongly recommended to operate an
optical mouse on a bright surface with fine texture to obtain lower power consumption. A
very dark surface will cause higher power consumption.

! For optimal performance, place the receiver at least 8 inches or 20 centimeters
away from other electrical devices, such as a computer, a monitor, speakers, or other
external storage drives.

! For a better transmission distance, avoid to use this device on a metal plate or
desktop because a large surface of iron, aluminum, copper and other metal will be a
shielding or ground to the RF antenna of the mouse and receiver. Operating on a metal
may cause the transmission distance shorter.

! If your notebook computer has a metal (contains Al or Mg) case, the metal housing
of the LCD panel will isolate partial radiation of the RF signal from the mouse. This will
possibly result in reducing the distance of transmission when you operate the mouse right
in front of the notebook, and the receiver is connected on the back of the notebook.
However, the RF mouse should work properly while you are operating the mouse just
beside your notebook computer.

Step 2. Setting up connection between mouse and receiver

This RF wireless mouse provides 10 different RF channels, and 256 identification codes to
avoid interference with other radio devices, or other same model of RF wireless mice.
Before you go on, make sure that the mouse is in standby mode, i.e., the red light on the
bottom of the mouse is on. If it is not, press any key to wake it up.

1. Press the Connect button on the receiver once (refer to Fig.1 for
the location of Connect button.) The LED inside the receiver will
light up to confirm the activation of Connect button.
The LED will stay on for around 7 seconds to indicate that the
receiver is waiting for a new configuration of ID and channel. If no
configuration message is received during this time, the receiver
will turn off the LED without any change of ID and channel. If a
valid configuration message is received before the end of wait
time, the receiver will turn off the LED as well, and validate the

Fig. 1

new ID and channel.

2. Press the “Connect” button on the mouse once (refer to Fig.2 for the
location of the “Connect” button.) The red light will go off, and turn on
again upon releasing the Connect button. (Warning: Be sure NOT to
depress the Connect button for more than 1.5 seconds when doing
mouse connection.)
There will be a duration of around 10 seconds for the mouse to get
connect with the receiver. As soon as The mouse is known by the
receiver, the LED on the receiver goes off, and the mouse is ready

to operate.

Note:

Since the transmission is one way from the mouse to the receiver, and in order to avoid
possible interference of other RF devices, we urge you to put the mouse as close as
possible to the receiver when you are connecting the mouse to the receiver.
