Synchronizing your Mouse to your Receiver
If the Mouse does not automatically sync with the
receiver, press the connect button on the front of the
receiver. The light on the receiver will blink rapidly.
Then sync the Mouse to the receiver by pushing the
sync button on the bottom of the Mouse. The light
on the receiver will stop blinking and light brightly.

randomly select a new ID. This allows multiple wireless
mice to work in the same location without cross talk. If
you experience cross talk with another wireless mouse,
repeat the synchronizing steps to change the channel.

Troubleshooting

If you are having any problems with the installation
or operation of your Mouse, please review the
following section. If the problem is not referred to
below, or the suggested solutions do not solve the
problem, please contact our technical support staff at
1-800-223-5546 ext. 2263.
Why isn’t my pointer moving smoothly?
The Mouse works well on a wide variety of surfaces,
especially those with textured and/or patterned
features. Problems will arise, however, if you attempt
to use the Mouse on mirrors, glass, or on some
half-tone-printed surfaces.
Why don’t the scroll functions work with
my notebook?
Check to be sure that you have disabled your notebook’s
trackball, touch pad, or J-key in the BIOS; then, enable
the external port so that all your Mouse’s functions will
be available.

Troubleshooting

My USB Mouse was not detected by the system and
won’t work. Why?
Please do the following:
1. Make sure your USB Mouse is completely plugged
into the USB port.
2. Check the functioning of your system’s USB port in
the Device Manager page of System Properties. If
there is a circled exclamation point through the USB
port’s icon, the USB controller has some problem.
Please try to uninstall and then reinstall the USB
driver, or contact your PC manufacturer’s technical
support department.
3. Check the version of your operating system. If you
are not running Windows 98 SE, Me, 2000, or XP,
please update your operating system to one of
these, so that the USB device can be enabled.
4. Make sure that the USB port is enabled in the
BIOS setup.
