Connecting the receiver to the computer  
To connect the mouse receiver to the computer:  
• Plug the USB receiver into an available USB port on your  
computer. The receiver’s LED turns red, and your  
computer identifies the receiver and begins installing the  
default driver.  
Important: If a message or dialog box appears on the  
screen, follow the on-screen prompts to complete the driver  
installation.

Linking the mouse and receiver  
The mouse has 256 identification codes that allow the  
mouse and its receiver to operate without interference from  
other RF devices. After your computer detects the USB  
receiver and the default driver is installed, you must make a  
communications link between the mouse and its receiver  
before you can use the mouse.  
To make a communications link:  
1
Press and release the link button on the receiver. The  
receiver’s status light blinks green when the receiver is  
activated.

2
Press and release the link button on the bottom of the  
mouse. The two devices establish their communication  
link. The receiver’s status light first blinks green, then  
turns red when the connection is made.

The mouse is now ready to use.

Operating tips  
For best performance and RF reception:  
• Place the receiver at least 8 inches (20 cm) away from all  
electrical devices, such as your monitor, speakers, or  
external drives. If necessary, use the extension cable to  
move the receiver away from the computer (if your  
computer is too close to other electrical devices). Plug  
the receiver into an extension cable (USB A male to  
USB A female, not included), and plug the extension  
cable into the computer.  
• 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 enters a Sleep mode whenever your  
computer does. To activate the mouse, just move or click  
the mouse.  
• If your computer has a metal case that contains  
aluminum or magnesium, use the mouse to the side,  
because the display may interfere with the radio  
frequency signal if you use the mouse directly in front of  
the computer.  
• Don’t use the mouse on a glass, mirror, or other highly  
reflective surface, because the mouse doesn’t work well  
on those types of surfaces.  
• To increase battery life, use the mouse on a white or  
light-colored surface. Dark surfaces cause the mouse’s  
light emitter diode (LED) to glow brighter, which causes  
the battery to discharge more rapidly.  
Conserving power  
When the mouse batteries are running low on power, the  
LED light on the receiver turns red and blinks.

To use your mouse’s Sleep mode:  
1
Do not use your mouse for five minutes. After five  
minutes of inactivity, the mouse automatically enters  
Sleep mode to conserve battery power.  
2
To wake the mouse, just move the mouse or click a  
mouse button.  
To conserve battery power:  
1
Slide the receiver lock away from the receiver holder,  
then pull the holder out to shut off the power.  
2
Insert the receiver into the receiver holder for convenient  
storage while travelling, and to prevent the holder from  
being pressed back into the mouse.

Ergonomic guidelines  
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  
on the keyboard 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  
Your mouse doesn’t work  
• Make sure that the polarity of the batteries is correct. The  
positive (+) and negative (-) ends of each battery must  
match the positive (+) and negative (-) connections in  
the battery compartment.  
• Make sure that the receiver’s USB plug is firmly  
connected to the USB port on your computer.  
• Make sure that the appropriate device drivers are  
installed.  
• Make sure that you have made a radio link between the  
mouse and its receiver.

When you use the mouse, other wireless  
devices work more slowly or fail temporarily.  
• 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.  
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.  
• 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.  
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.  
You can’t use the mouse while another RF  
mouse is in use  
• Reset the identification code by re-linking the receiver  
and mouse. For instructions, see “Connecting the  
receiver to the computer” on page 5.
