Fine tuning the mouse cursor speed

Due to the change in (high) resolution, the mouse may become too
sensitive and difficult to use (too fast for some users). After selecting
the suitable resolution, you can also fine tune the sensativity. This can
be adjusted in the “control panel” of the Windows operating system.
Click on Start --> Setting --> Control Panel --> Mouse

In the “mouse properties” window, locate the “pointer options” tab.
Under “motion”, use the slider to change the speed of the mouse.
Click Apply to confirm the setting.

Safety Measures

Never point the optical sensor toward the face, particularly the eyes, to
avoid possible injury.

NOTE: WHILE THE MOUSE IS FUNCTIONING, LASER LIGHT IS NOT VISIBLE TO
THE NAKED EYE. BE CAREFUL NOT TO LOOK DIRECTLY INTO THE EMITTER HOLE
WHILE THE MOUSE IS ACTIVE.

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.

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

Operating Hints

For optimal performance:

• Never use the mouse on a glass or mirrored surface as these
surfaces will cause the mouse to fail temporarily.

• Avoid using the mouse on surfaces with repetitive patterns, such as
printed magazine photographs, as this type of surface may cause the
mouse to respond slowly or fail temporarily.
