TheRadio receiver can be conveniently placed to give you the freedom you need while working. The vertical wheelallows you to scroll, or zoom in and out in a document. You can program the mouse buttons to launch the NetJumpor LuckyJump for a quick start to programs you run frequently. And, your RF-Mouse has a unique ID code, so otherRF (Radio Frequency) pointing devices won’t affect your system.Connecting the RF-Mouse ReceiverThe RF-Mouse receiver connects to your computer in the same way as a conventionalmouse allowing you to place the receiver wherever is convenient on your desktop.1. Locate the round 6-pin PS/2 mouse port on the back of your 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 the receiver. To make sure that your mouse sendsand receives properly, refer to the following:1.

The RF-Mouse should be no farther than 3.3 feet (1.0 meter) from the mouse receiver. This willensure optimal communication between the mouse and receiver.3. If you are working on a metallic surface, try using a mouse pad and turning the receiver face down forbetter reception.4. Switch frequency channels to prevent interference from other RF pointing devices. (See the followingsection for more information.)Selecting the Frequency ChannelThe RF-Mouse operates on two frequency channels. Toprevent interference when using two RF Mice in closeproximity a different frequency channel should be usedfor each mouse. Refer to the following to change thefrequency channel for your mouse:1. Set the frequency channel on the receiver to 1 or2.2. Remove the battery cover from the mouse (see thefollowing Inserting the Batteries section).3. Set the frequency channel on the mouse to 1 or 2.(The frequency channel for mouse and receivermust be the same.)
