SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS

Remembertoexercisegoodcommon sense when using your X10 Mouse Remote for home automation applications - especially when scheduling unattended devices. There can be some unexpected consequences if not used with care. For example, an empty coffee pot can be remotely turned on. If that should happen, your coffee pot could be damaged from overheating. If an electric heater is turned on by remote control while clothing is draped over it, a fire could result. DO NOT USE the system for the control of high power heating appliances such as portable heaters.

Caution: To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not disassemble any part of the Home Automation System. No userserviceable parts are inside. If you spill liquid on any accessory unit (Modules, etc.) disconnect the unit from the AC outlet to prevent possible fire or shock hazard and consult authorized service personnel.

Powerline operated equipment or accessories connected to any of these units should bear the UL listing or CSA certification mark and should not have been modified in any way that might defeat their safety features.

Congratulations on your purchase of the X10 Mouse Remote and Wireless Receiver.

Wireless Mouse....

The MK19A kit consists of a remote control (JR20A) and a wireless receiver (JR21A). The remote control sends wireless RF signals to the receiver which is connected to your PC. You plug the receiver into the serial port or PS/2 port on your PC and plug your regular mouse into the socket on the receiver. This lets you use the remote as a wireless mouse. You use the mouse pad on the front of the remote to move the cursor around the PC screen, and use the buttons on the back of the remote as the left and right mouse buttons. It’s that simple! However, to take advantage of the advanced features of the Mouse Remote, you can install the software that came with it. This lets you configure the remote’s special function buttons (WEB, DVD, CD, and Phone). You can configure these buttons to perform special functions such as launching your WEB Browser, for example.

Universal Remote....

You can use the Mouse Remote as a Universal Remote, to control most audio/ video products. Control your TV, VCR, Cable Box, Satellite Receiver, etc. all from the same convenient and easy to use remote.

The X10 Mouse Remote will control most or all of your video and audio equipment. But what really sets it apart from other universal remotes is that you can also control almost any light or appliance in your home - even in another room! And it’s easy to install. Within minutes, you can be using your X10 Mouse Remote to dim the lights, start brewing a fresh pot of coffee and play your favorite movie! (Requires X10 Transceiver and Modules, sold separately).

Herearejustsomeofthethingsyou can do with your X10 Mouse Remote...

•Control your entire audio/video and lighting setup for the ultimate Home Theater experience.

MOUSE OPERATION

The MK19A kit consists of a remote control (JR20A) and a wireless receiver (JR21A). The remote control sends wireless RF signals (from up to 40 ft. away) to the receiver which is connected to your PC. You plug the receiver into the serial or PS/2 port on your PC and plug your regular mouse into the socket on the receiver.

If you have a serial mouse....

To your serial

mouse To serial port on your PC

If you have a PS/2 mouse....

To install the JR21A Mouse Receiver:

First shut down and turn off your PC. Unplug your mouse and plug the mouse Receiver into your PC’s mouse port (use the enclosed adapter if you have a PS/2 port). Plug your existing mouse into the socket on the Receiver. Set the switch on the Receiver to the front position. Turn on your PC.

IMPORTANT: You cannot connect the Mouse Receiver to a PS/2 port while the PC is turned on. If you try this, your PC will not recognize your mouse. You can attach the Receiver to a serial port while the PC is turned on but you will then need to re-boot your computer.

Wait for about 10 seconds after rebooting. Now you can use the JR20A remote as a wireless mouse. You use the mouse pad on the front of the remote to move the cursor around the PC screen, and use the buttons on the back of the remote as the left and right mouse

buttons. It’s that simple!

your PC (using	To your PS/
supplied adapter)	2 mouse

(on back)	(on back)

You can, at any time, still use your existing mouse, which always overrides the Mouse Remote. If you want to stop the JR21A receiver from receiving signals from the Mouse Remote for a period of time, set the switch on the JR21A to the back position. Remember to set it back to the front position next time you want to use the Mouse Remote.

Using the Mouse Remote to move the cursor around the screen and open and close applications is very easy to do and allows you, for example, to give PC presentations from across the room.

However, to take advantage of the advanced features of the Mouse Remote, you can install the software that came with it.
