4. Switching Mouse Mode
4-1.Switching Mouse Hardware Modes (Use mode switch)
The Serial Mouse is capable of operating either as a Microsoft Serial
Mouse or a Mouse Systems Mouse. At the base of the Mouse you will find a
slide switch. The switch has two possible positions, 'MS' and 'PC' When
the switch is set to the 'MS' position the Mouse will emulate a two-buttoned
Microsoft Mouse while setting the switch to the 'PC' position will cause
the Mouse to emulate a three-buttoned Mouse Systems Mouse.
4-2.Switching Mouse Hardware Modes (None mode switch)
As mentioned earlier, the serial mouse is capable of operating either as
a Microsoft Serial Mouse or a Mouse Systems Mouse. Which of the two modes
the mouse will operate in is determined on the power-on initialization.
If any one of the three buttons is depressed during power-on initialization, the
mouse will emulate Mouse Systems Mouse. If none of the
buttons are depressed during power-on initiation the mouse will emulate
Microsoft Mouse.
4-3.Microsoft Mode
When the mouse is in Microsoft mode, only the left and right buttons are
Active the middle button is inactive. In this mode, your mouse will
correctly emulate a Microsoft Serial Mouse.
4-4.Mouse Systems Mode
If you are a user of AUTOCAD or any other software which gives enhanced
performance with a Mouse Systems Mouse you should choose this emulation.
A Mouse Systems Mouse operates with all three buttons.
Note: Because Windows 95/98/NT/2000/ME support serial 'MS' mouse mode, you

switch the mouse to 'MS' mode when first installing the mouse
driver. After completing the installation, you can switch
to 'PC' mouse mode when you restart the computer.

Page 5
1) Enable Mouse Port through the Setup Menu (consult your
computer documentation for further information.
3) If adaptor(s) were not included in your package, your mouse
was designed to work on only one type of port
If the problem persists, please check for a possible computer
BIOS ROM upgrade from your computer manufacturer.
Some notebook systems, such as IBM Thinkpad, have both an external
Mouse Port and an integrated Pointing Stick, which is connected to
the Mouse Port. If your mouse is having difficulty running on the
Mouse Port of this type of system, try using the serial port
instead.
Symptom 8: Conflicts with other Serial Devices
Solution: Some software provided by other manufacturers with mouse
functions, such as Logitech MouseWare, may conflict with
this mouse. We recommend you remove the software install
before installing this mouse software.
Symptom 9: Problems Operating the Wheel
Solution: If your mouse is equipped with a wheel and the wheel does not
scroll, verify the following:
1) Verify that the "Browser Mouse" or "Mouse Control Panel"
application is installed properly. If you do not find the
"Browser Mouse" or "Mouse Control Panel" icon in the system
tray, you need to reinstall mouse software.
2) Some other applications with mouse scrolling function may
conflict with this mouse function. Remove these applications
