Microsoft 1008 Users Manual

Welcome!

Setting up your Microsoft® mouse takes a few simple steps, and then you can enjoy
the freedom and convenience of wireless technology.

Note In this Getting Started guide, “mouse” refers to both mouse and trackball
products.

Install IntelliPoint Software

IntelliPoint software enables the unique features of your mouse and provides
battery status and wireless signal quality information.

Note

If you do not already have a mouse, you can connect the receiver before

installation so you can use your mouse during IntelliPoint Setup.

The software with this product is licensed, not sold. You must either agree to the license contract in

If your mouse has a Universal Serial Bus (USB) connector, it can be used with a
Macintosh computer.

To install IntelliPoint software (Macintosh)

• Insert the Microsoft IntelliPoint compact disc into the computer’s CD drive,
double-click the IntelliPoint Installer icon, and then follow the on-screen
instructions. After installation is complete, restart your computer if prompted to
do so.

Insert the Batteries

Whenever you insert batteries, always make sure both of them are new. Alkaline
batteries are recommended, and two alkaline batteries are included in the package.

Note To preserve battery life, the mouse automatically enters power saving mode
when not in use, so there is no need for a power switch.

1. Turn the mouse upside down, and then remove the battery compartment cover.

2. Insert the batteries, making sure to properly orient the positive (+) and negative

(–) ends as specified by the battery compartment labels.

3. Close the battery compartment cover.

Important Before boarding any aircraft, remove the batteries from the wireless

mouse. The wireless mouse can emit radio frequency (RF) energy, similar to a
cellular telephone, whenever batteries are installed and the mouse is activated
either by touch or button press.

Position the Wireless Mouse and Receiver

For optimum performance, position the receiver so that it is at least 8 inches (20
cm) away from the mouse and any items that might cause interference, such as
computer monitors, large metal objects (including metal furniture), desktop fans,
or fluorescent lights. The mouse may work up to 6 feet (1.8 m) away from the
receiver, but this distance varies depending on positioning, nearby items causing
interference, and other factors.

Connect the Receiver to the Computer

The connection procedure depends on the type of computer you are using and the
connectivity supported for your mouse as specified on the package. A USB
connection is recommended for a Windows-based computer.

Important

USB Connection (Windows or Macintosh)

• With your computer turned on, plug the rectangular USB connector into your
computer’s USB port.

PS/2 Connection (Windows)

1. Shut down and turn off your computer.

2. If your mouse cable has a round PS/2 connector, plug it into your computer’s

round PS/2 mouse port.

Or, if your mouse has a USB-to-PS/2 adapter, attach it to the Universal Serial
Bus (USB) connector, and then plug it into your computer’s round PS/2 mouse
port.
