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. For best performance, place the RF-Mouse 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. 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 up cover and move backward 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/Me/2000/NT4.0 installation
1. Connect the mouse to your computer.
2. Insert the installation diskette into your floppy disk drive.

The RF-Mouse ID code
Each RF-Mouse is assigned a unique ID code when manufactured, to only pick 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 RF-Mouse window (shown on the
right) appears.
SET ID CODE: 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.
OR
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.
