Mouse Resolution
What does resolution or sensitivity mean when applied to mouse settings?
Resolution is a term that refers to a computer’s screen or display, indicating the number of pixels on the
horizontal axis and the vertical axis. The higher the resolution, the more detail is displayed.
For a mouse, resolution indicates the number of dots on the screen that the cursor moves for every inch that
you move the mouse. For this reason, mouse resolution is typically listed as dots per inch (dpi).
The resolution setting controls the number of signals sent to the controller chip for every inch the mouse is
moved. At higher resolution, more signals are sent. This results in better control of the cursor and a smoother
motion. The higher the dpi setting, the more control you have over the cursor movement.
When using some applications, such as illustrating software or certain games, you may want more control.
For these programs, use a higher resolution setting. Other programs, such as word processing software or a
Web browser, may be easier to use with a lower resolution setting.
To adjust the resolution, hold the main left, right, and middle mouse buttons down simultaneously for three
seconds. The resolution will change from the default value to the next highest resolution. Hold these three
mouse buttons again, and the resolution will change to the next available resolution value. Each time the
buttons are held for three seconds, the resolution will change to the next available setting.
If you have purchased the HP 5-button mouse, the available resolutions are: 800 DPI, 1000 DPI, 1200 DPI
(default), and 1600 DPI. When the resolution changes, the scroll wheel will blink as follows:
800 DPI: one blink
1000 DPI: two blinks
1200 DPI: three blinks
1600 DPI: four blinks
If you have purchased the HP 3-button mouse, the available resolutions are: 500 DPI, 1000 DPI (default),
1250 DPI, and 1500 DPI. When the resolution changes, the scroll wheel will blink as follows:
500 DPI: one blink
1000 DPI: two blinks
1250 DPI: three blinks
1500 DPI: four blinks
Wi-Fi Pairing
The HP Wi-Fi Mobile Mouse and your computer communicate using 802.11 wireless technology, no
separate USB receiver is necessary. You must pair (connect) the mouse with your PC to enable the
communication.
Before pairing your mouse to your PC, make sure that your PC’s Wi-Fi is turned on. Many notebook
computers have a switch or button that turns the Wi-Fi function off/on.
To pair (connect) the mouse with your PC for the first time:
1. Install the software included with your mouse. At the end of the installation process, it will lead you
through the steps to pair your mouse with your PC.
To pair (connect) the mouse after the initial software installation:
1. If you have already installed the mouse software, launch the HP Mouse Control Center software from
your desktop shortcut.
2. Click on the Configure icon, and then click on the "Pairing Wizard" button.
3. Move the power switch on the bottom of the mouse to the "on" position.
4. Press and release the "Connect" button on the bottom of the mouse.
5. Follow the steps in the pairing wizard.

Batteries
Battery status is shown in a system tray icon or on the Mouse tab of the HP Mouse Control Center.

a black battery icon .
When the battery status indicates a low battery level, replace the batteries in order to continue to use the
mouse.
NOTE: Only high-capacity alkaline batteries are recommended for use with this product.
Replacing the Batteries
To replace the batteries in your mouse:
1. Locate the open latch on the bottom of the mouse and move the latch to the open position.
2. Turn the mouse over and lift the cover off.
3. Place new batteries in the compartment as shown in the illustration.
4. Close the cover by placing the tab into its slot.
5. Press the cover down until it clicks into place.
6. Turn the mouse over and move the latch to the closed position (you may need to use a pen
to do this).
Mouse Sensor Technology
The HP mouse uses either optical or laser sensor technology.
An optical mouse uses an LED light to track movement.
A laser mouse is typically much more sensitive than an optical mouse. Also, a laser mouse works on
surfaces on which an optical mouse performs poorly, such as black or shiny surfaces.
Troubleshooting
Question: During the software installation process, I am receiving an error
message that my operating system is not supported.
Answer: Your PC must be running the Windows 7 operating system in order to communicate with the HP
Wi-Fi Mobile Mouse. Additionally, your PC's Wi-Fi adapter must be Windows 7 certified.
Question: My mouse is not detected by the pairing wizard.
Answer: Before pairing your mouse to your PC, make sure that your PC's Wi-Fi is turned on. Many
notebook computers have a switch or button that turns the Wi-Fi function off/on.
Question: I am having problems pairing the HP Wi-Fi Mobile Mouse with
my PC, or the mouse behaves erratically after it is paired.
Answer: Since your PC communicates with the mouse using wireless communication, please use Windows
Update or check your Wi-Fi manufacturer’s website to make sure that you have the latest drivers for your
PC’s wireless network adapter.
Question: During the pairing process, the wizard displays more than one
mouse. How do I know which one to select?
Answer: You can identify your specific mouse from the "Mouse ID" which is found on the bottom of your
mouse.
Question: My mouse is turned off, but it is still detected by the pairing
wizard.
Answer: The PC system keeps a cache of previously discovered mice. This cache does expire, but it can
take up to 5 minutes depending upon your PC's wireless adapter.
Question: When I turn my mouse off and back on again, it takes my PC a
long time to redetect the mouse.
Answer: When the mouse is turned off and then turned back on, the PC has to go through the mouse
disconnection process followed by the mouse connection process. It can take between 5 and 10 seconds
to complete both of these processes.
Question: The mouse pointer is not moving. What should I do?
Answer: Ensure that all setup procedures have been followed correctly. If the software has already been
installed, uninstall it, reboot your computer, and then re-install.
Clean the mouse lens with a cotton swab. Do not use any other materials or solvents to clean the mouse lens
as this may result in damage to the lens.
Because this is an optical device, it is important to use it on an appropriate surface. If the surface you are
using your mouse on is highly reflective, the surface may be the source of the problem. Use a mouse pad or
change to a more neutral-colored surface.
Question: The mouse pointer is moving abnormally. What should I do?
Answer: This can be caused by debris around or on the lens that is interfering with the optical signal.
Clean the mouse lens with a cotton swab. Do not use any other materials or solvents to clean the mouse lens
as this may result in damage to the lens.

Safety Guidelines
Physical discomfort and injury can result from incorrect use of your mouse. Follow these guidelines to ensure
that such problems are avoided:
Sit up straight in your chair, with your elbows by your sides.
Adjust the height of your chair so your arms bend at a 90-degree angle respective to your desk.
Position your mouse in front of you, to the side of your keyboard.
Do not slouch or hunch over your workspace. It is important to keep your wrists, arms and shoulders
relaxed.
If necessary, use a wrist rest or a palm rest to alleviate extra stress placed on your joints when typing or
using the mouse, especially for long periods of time.
If you experience any feelings of numbness, cramping, swelling or stiffness in your wrists, arms, neck or
shoulders, consult your local doctor or nearest health institution immediately.
