AFETY CONSIDERATIONS
Remember to exercise good common
sense when using your X-10 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.
Warning: To prevent electric shock
hazard, do not expose any part of the
Home Automation System to rain or
moisture.

INTRODUCTION
Congratulations on your purchase of the
X-10 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. Its 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 remotes 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.
Make your lights and appliances go to
work for you....
The X-10 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 its easy to install. Within
minutes, you can be using your X-10
Mouse Remote to dim the lights, start
brewing a fresh pot of coffee and play
your favorite movie! (Requires X-10
Transceiver and Modules, sold
separately).

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
If you have a PS/2 mouse....
To serial port
on your PC
To install the JR21A Mouse Receiver:
First shut down and turn off your PC.
Unplug your mouse and plug the mouse
Receiver into your PCs 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. Its that simple!

your PC (using
supplied adapter)

2 mouse

(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.
