Introduction

Congratulations on your purchase of the Targus Retract­able Laser Mouse for notebooks. This ergonomic mini
mouse features the latest in laser tracking technology.
The improved tracking accuracy offers 20 times more
sensitivity than a traditional LED optical mouse. The
images received by the laser are more detailed with
higher contrast. The mouse can track more reliably, even
on reflective surfaces. This USB mouse provides hot
swap and plug and play, with no need for software driv­ers. A retractable cable makes storage easy and saves
space.

Safety Measures

• While the mouse is functioning, no laser light is visible
to the naked eye. Although this mouse is a Class 1
Laser Product and safe for operation, avoid pointing
the laser into the eyes or looking directly into the laser
emitter.

• Keep the mouse away from young children.

• Any attempt to disassemble, adjust or repair the
mouse may result in exposure to laser light or other
safety hazards.

Troubleshooting

I do not see the laser light when the
mouse is active.

• Unlike traditional optical mice, the light is not visible
when the laser mouse is active.

• To make sure the mouse is on and functioning prop­erly, move the mouse back and forth and check to see
if the cursor responds.

My mouse does not work on a mirror
or glass surface.

• Though rated for most of these kinds of surfaces,
occasionally there will be one such surface that will
cause the mouse to work improperly or not at all.

• If you are using the mouse on a reflective or mirrored
surface, move it to another surface.
