Installing the Software

remove that driver before installation of the Fellowes Easy Point
software.

b. Remember to save your Fellowes Easy Point CD in case you ever

need to reinstall the software.

c. The input device will not function properly without installation of

the Fellowes Easy Point software. The device will work as a basic
mouse as soon as you plug it in, but to make full use of the device,

you must install the software.
d. Turn on the power to your computer.
