IntroductionCongratulations on your purchase! Your new RF-Mouse is easy to install and offers you a host ofuseful features. The Radio receiver can be conveniently placed to give you the freedom you needwhile working. The vertical wheel allows you to scroll, or zoom in and out in a document. You canprogram the mouse buttons to launch the NetJump or LuckyJump for a quick start to programs yourun frequently. And, your RF-Mouse has a unique ID code, so other RF (Radio Frequency) pointingdevices won’t affect your system.Connecting the RF-Mouse ReceiverThe RF-Mouse receiver connects to your computer inthe same way as a conventional mouse allowing you toplace the receiver wherever is convenient on yourdesktop.1. Locate the round 6-pin PS/2 mouse port on the back ofyour computer.2. Insert the PS/2 connector into the PS/2 port.Locating the RF-Mouse ReceiverYour RF-Mouse has limitations on the range or distance from thereceiver. To make sure that your mouse sends and receives properly, referto the following:1. For optimal performance, place the receiver at least 8 inches (20centimeters) away from other electrical devices, such as thecomputer, the monitor, or external storage drives.2. The RF-Mouse should be no farther than 3.3 feet (1.0 meter) fromthe mouse receiver. This will ensure optimal communicationbetween the mouse and receiver.3. If you are working on a metallic surface, try using a mouse padand turning the receiver face down for better reception.4. Switch frequency channels to prevent interference from other RFpointing devices. (See the following section for more information.)Selecting the Frequency ChannelThe RF-Mouse operates on twofrequency channels. To preventinterference when using two RFMice in close proximity a differentfrequency channel should be usedfor each mouse. Refer to thefollowing to change the frequencychannel for your mouse:1. Set the frequency channel on thereceiver to 1 or 2.2. Remove the battery cover fromthe mouse (see the followingInserting the Batteries section).3. Set the frequency channel on themouse to 1 or 2. (The frequencychannel for mouse and receivermust be the same.)

The RF-Mouse ID codeEach RF-Mouse is assigned a unique ID code at manufacture, so the receiver only picks up the signalfrom your mouse and prevents other RF-Mouse radio signals from operating on your computer.
