Operating Hints

For optimal performance and RF reception:

• For instances where the PC is positioned under a desk
or other places that might impede wireless connectivity,
use of the extension seat is recommended. (See the
diagram on page 7.)

• Avoid using the mouse on a metal surface. Metals,
such as iron, aluminum or copper, shield the radio fre­quency transmission and may slow down the mouse’s
response time or cause the mouse to fail temporarily.

• The mouse will enter a suspend mode at the same time
your computer does. Click any mouse button to wake it.

• If your computer has a metal case that contains alumi­num or magnesium, use the mouse to the side. The
display panel may interfere with the radio frequency

signal if you use the mouse directly in front of the com­puter.

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

• To maximize battery life, use the mouse on a light col­ored surface. Dark surfaces cause the mouse’s light
emitter diode (LED) light to glow brighter, which causes
the battery to discharge more rapidly.

Comfortable Usage

Research suggests that physical discomfort and injury to
nerves, tendons, and muscles may be related to repeti­tive motion, an improperly set up work area, incorrect
body posture, and poor work habits.

To reduce the risk of injury, follow these precautions:

• Stand, stretch, and move around several times every
hour.

• Switch hands while performing tasks. Use shortcut
keys to avoid repetitive or awkward mouse movements.

• Relax your shoulders and keep your elbows at your
sides. Adjust the keyboard’s position so that you don’t
have to stretch to reach it.

• Adjust your position so that you don’t have to bend your
wrists to type; avoid placing your wrists on a sharp
edge.

If you feel discomfort or numbness in your hands, wrists,
arms, shoulders, neck, or back while typing, consult a
qualified medical professional.

Troubleshooting

What do I do if the mouse does not work?

• Make sure that the polarity of the battery is correct. The
positive (+) and negative (-) ends of the battery must
match the positive (+) and negative (-) connections in
the battery housing.

• The battery may need recharging. See “Charging the
Mouse” on page 7.

• Check that the receiver's USB connector is firmly
attached to the USB port on your computer or to the
extension seat, and that the extension seat's cable is
connected to your PC.

• Make sure you have established a communication link
between the mouse and its receiver. See “Synchroniza­tion” on page 8.

When I use the mouse, other wireless devices
work more slowly or fail temporarily – what
should I do?

• The mouse may cause interference with any cordless,
radio-based device that operates at 27 MHz, such as a
telephone, baby monitor, or toy. To reduce interference,
move the mouse’s receiver and the base unit of the
affected device as far away from each other as possi­ble.

10

Targus 5-button Rechargeable Wireless Mouse

What do I do if the response time of the mouse
is slow or the mouse intermittently stops
working?

• Increase the distance between the mouse’s receiver
and the rest of your computer equipment. Use the USB
extension seat if necessary.

• Increase the distance between the mouse’s receiver
and the base units of other wireless devices.

• Turn off any wireless devices and their base units that
are near the mouse’s receiver.

• If you are using the mouse on a metal surface, move it
and the receiver to a non-metal surface. Metals, such
as iron, aluminum or copper, shield the radio frequency
transmission and may slow down the mouse’s
response time or cause the mouse to fail temporarily.
