HEALTH WARNING
Use of a keyboard or mouse may be linked to serious injuries or disorders.
When using a computer, as with many activities, you may experience occasional discomfort in your
hands, arms, shoulders, neck, or other parts of your body. However, if you experience symptoms such
as persistent or recurring discomfort, pain, throbbing, aching, tingling, numbness, burning sensation,
or stiffness, DO NOT IGNORE THESE WARNING SIGNS. PROMPTLY SEE A QUALIFIED HEALTH
PROFESSIONAL, even if symptoms occur when you are not working at your computer. Symptoms such
as these can be associated with painful and sometimes permanently disabling injuries or disorders of
the nerves, muscles, tendons, or other parts of the body. These musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs)
include carpal tunnel syndrome, tendonitis, tenosynovitis, and other conditions.
While researchers are not yet able to answer many questions about MSDs, there is general
agreement that many factors may be linked to their occurrence, including: medical and physical
conditions, stress and how one copes with it, overall health, and how a person positions and uses his
or her body during work and other activities (including use of a keyboard or mouse). Some studies
suggest that the amount of time a person uses a keyboard may also be a factor. Some guidelines that
may help you work more comfortably with your computer and possibly reduce your risk of
experiencing an MSD can be found in the “Healthy Computing Guide” topic of the User’s Guide,
provided with the software program on your CD. If you do not have the CD for this product, you can
access the “Healthy Computing Guide” from http://www.microsoft.com/hardware/, or (in the United
States only) call 1-800-360-7561 to request a CD at no charge. If you have questions about how your
own lifestyle, activities, or medical or physical condition may be related to MSDs, see a qualified
health professional.

Welcome!
Setting up your Microsoft® mouse takes a few simple steps, and then you can enjoy
the freedom and convenience of wireless technology.
Install IntelliPoint Software
1
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.
About Your Rights and Obligations
The software with this product is licensed, not sold. You must either agree to the license contract in
the software Setup screens or promptly return the entire product for a refund, excluding the return
costs. After you install the software, you may consult the license and the Limited Warranty for the
product at any time by looking in the “Legal Information” section of the software User’s Guide. You
may also print a copy for your records.
To install IntelliPoint software (Microsoft Windows® operating system)
1. Insert the Microsoft IntelliPoint compact disc into the computer’s CD drive. If
Setup does not start automatically, do the following:
• Click the Start button, and then click Run.
• Type [drive]:setup. For example, if your CD drive is drive D, type d:setup.
2. Follow the Setup Wizard instructions on your screen.
Depending on your operating system version, you may be asked to restart your
computer before Setup can begin.
3. After installation is complete, restart your computer if prompted to do so.

0503 Part No. X09-50622
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
2
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
3
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.
