Caution!

Although the data are inconclusive, some experts believe that using a keyboard in certain ways (e.g. excessive keying forces, p oor posture, impro per workstatio n set up, and/or repetitive, extended typing) may be associated with some forms of acute sprains/strains or chronic upper extremity musculoskeletal disorders. If at any time you experience pain, soreness, numbness, tingling, throbbing, aching, stiffness, weakness or a burning sensation in your hands, wrists, arms, shoulders, neck or back, promptly consult a qualified health professional.

Do not ignore these warning signs; they may indicate the presence of a serious medical condition.

To increase your comfort and minimize the potential for injury when using a keyboard, follow these guidelines:

• Place the keyboard within comfortable reach; avoid over-extending to reach the keyboard.

• Adjust your position relative to the keyboard so that your wrists and forearms are straight and parallel to the floor. This may mean adjusting your chair, your computer table or desk (if adjustable), and, if you us e on e, your keyboard tray.

• When you type, keep your wrists straight and avoid placing them on the palm rest pad. Use the palm rest to rest your hands only when you ar en't typing.

• Take frequent breaks from using the keyboard, at least once per hour.

• Vary your tasks throughout the day.

Display Screen

C H A P T E R 5 Setting up the Intel® Wireless Series Gamepad

The mouse icon indicates that the gamepad is currently in Mouse Mode.When Mouse Mode

is turned off, the Mouse symbol is not displayed.

The battery icon indicates that the batteries in the gamepad need to be changed. When the bat-

tery symbol appears, the batteries have one to several days of usage remaining. We recommend that you change the gamepad's batteries promptly

The dash indicates that the gamepad is on, but

not connected to the Intel Wireless Series Base Station or the gamepad is too far away from the Base Station.

Using Mouse Mode

The gamepad can work as a mouse for any program on your computer, in addition to playing games. To start Mouse Mode, press the “mouse” button on the gamepad. Mouse Mode has the following default settings:

Your regular mouse still works when you use Mouse Mode

• Start and stop Mouse Mode by pressing the “Mouse” button on the gamepad.

• The left mouse button defaults to Button A.

• The middle mouse button (pressing down on the scroll wheel) defaults to Button B.

• The right mo use button defau lt s to Button C.

You can customize the Mouse Mode settings by assigning mouse buttons and functions to the gamepad's buttons and use the D-Pad to move the mouse pointer. For more information about using Mouse Mode, check the online Help:

Start > Programs > Intel Wireless Series > Help

Using Profiles with the Intel Wireless Series Gamepad

Profiles, a great way to extend your gaming experience, are files that contain gamepad settings which define actions for a game. By using profiles, you can customize the actions that take place when you click the D-Pad, buttons, and triggers. For example, you can create a profile that includes all the keyboard and mouse clicks for your favorite game. When you play a game and act ivate this profile, your gamepad takes the place of your keyboard and mouse.

Setting up the Intel® Wireless Series Gamepad C H A P T E R 5

The gamepad software includes p rofiles for 50 popular games and you can download profiles from the Intel Profile Exchange Web site. Y o u can access the Profile Exchange from the Intel Game Profile Editor and Intel Game Profile Activator.

Intel Game Profile Editor

Use the Intel Game Profile Editor to create and manage profiles for the Intel Wireless Series Gamepad. With the Profile Editor, you can:

• record game actions

• assign keystrokes and macros to gamepad buttons

• copy or cut and paste actions from one profile to another profile between profiles

• restore a button's default action, as defined by the game

• create macros for diagonal movement

• view a list of all keystrokes and macros in a profile

• activate a profile after you create or edit it

• enable and configure Mouse Mode for a profile

You can also open the Intel Profile Exchange Web site, where you can download new gamepad profiles and upload your gamepad profile s to share them with other gamepad users.

Getting to the Profile Exchange on the Web

3 Follow the on-

screen instructions.

To open the Profile Editor

• Click

Start > Programs > Intel Wireless Series > Intel Game Profile Editor

Intel Game Profile Activator

Use the Intel Game Profile Activator to activate a profile and turn off a profile for each connected gamepad. You can activate the same profile or a different profile for each connected gamepad. Profiles are files which contain gamepad settings that define actions in a game.

The Profile Activator also shows basic information about each connected gamepad, such as whether it is using a profile. If you want to edit an active profile, view the actions in an active profile, or create a new profile, you can open the Intel Game Profile Editor directly from the Activator. There are also links that open the Intel Wireless Series Control Panel and the Windows* Game Controllers control panel.

Caution!

Although the data are inconclusive, some experts believe that using electronic devices in certain ways (e.g. excessive keying forces, poor posture, improper workstation set up, and/ or repetitive, extended typing) may be associated with some forms of acute sprains/strains or chronic upper extremity musculoskeletal disorders.

Do not ignore these warning signs; they may indicate the presence of a serious medical condition.

To increase your comfort and minimize the potential for injury when using the Intel Wireless Series Gamepad, follow these guidelines:

• Sit comfortably with good posture.

• As you use the gamepad, change the position of your wrists and hands periodically.

• Avoid holding your wrists in a bent position for extended periods of time.

• Avoid gripping the gamepad tightly. This can tire your hands.

• Minimize repetitive actions. For playing games, you can create profiles with macros that function as your most frequently used keystrokes and other game actions.

• Take frequent breaks when using the gamepad, at least once per hour.

• Use the Intel Wireless Series Control Panel to quickly jump to property pages for all Intel peripherals.

This section contains troubleshooting information for situations you may encounter with Intel Wireless Series peripherals, such as:

• Difficulty connecting a wireless device (see below)

• Base Station appears with alert symbol in Intel Wireless Series Control Panel (see page32 )

• Wireless device doesn’t work (see page33)

• Base Station doesn’t work (see pag e34)

Reducing Interference with Other Wireless Devices

All 900MHz radio-based devices are subject to interference from other 900MHz radio-based devices, such as cordless telephones, cordless baby monitors, cordless headphones, and cordless speakers. If you experience static, clicking, or humming with another radio-based device after you have connected your Intel Wireless Series Base Station and one of its devices, the Base Station may be causing the interference.

It may be helpful to move the Base Station and the base uni t for the other wireless device (such as cordless telephone cradle) as far apart as possible. You may need to experiment to determine the locations that are best for your environment.

Using Multiple Intel Wireless Series Base Stations

If you are using more than one Intel Wireless Series Base Station, it may take up to 3 minutes to connect a wireless device. As a general rule when connecting a wireless device, make sure the other Base Station is not also trying to connect to a device, whic h happens w henever you pus h a Base Station’s connect button.

As you connect a wireless device, be sure to watch the “connect” light on the front of the Base Station. As the Base Station searches for the wireless device signal, it blinks slowly; after the connection is successful, the “connect” light will blink rapidly several times and then glow steadily.

If you aren’t able to connect an Intel Wireless Series device in a multi-base setting:

Unplug the other Base Station(s) from its electrical

outlet. On the Base Station to which you want to connect the

device, press the connect button. Press the device’s connect button.

To verify that your device is connected and working

properly, open a document or game and try the device. After verifying that the device is connected to the

right Base Station, you can plug the other Base Station(s) in to an electrical outlet.

Technical Specifications

FCC Compliance Statement

This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the two following conditions:

This device may not cause harmful interference.

This device must accept any interference received,

including interference that may cause undesired

operations. The product has been tested and verified to be within the energy emission limits for Class B digital devices as defined in Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential situation. This product generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. Installed correctly, it probably will not interfere with your radio or TV. However, we do not guarantee the absence of interference.

If you modify the product in any way, without getting approval from Intel Corporation, your product may violate FCC regulations. Violation of FC C regulations may cause the FCC to void your right to use the unit.

If you suspect this product is causing interference, turn your computer on and off while your radio or TV is showing interference. If the interference disappears when you turn the computer off and reappears when you turn the computer on, something in the computer is causing interference.

To reduce interference, try these suggestions:

• Change the direction of the radio or TV antenna.

• Move the computer or the radio or TV. For example, if the computer is to the right of the TV, move it to the left of the TV. Or, move the

C H A P T E R 8 FCC Compliance and Technical Specifications

computer farther away from the radio or TV.

• Plug the computer into a different outlet. Don’t plug your radio or TV into the same circuit as your computer.

• Ensure that all expansion slots (on the back or side of the computer) are covered. Also, ensure that all metal retaining brackets are tightly attached to the computer.

If these suggestions don’t help, consult your computer dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for more suggestions.
