Avoid using on such materials, or use a commercially available mouse pad that is compatible with a laser sensor mouse. Although the polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) fluorocarbon polymer in the sole is a low-friction, non-stick material, the level of friction may vary depending on the material of the desktop and mouse pad.HintIf necessary, you can adjust the mouse pointer speed under “Mouse Properties.”To display “Mouse Properties” with the Windows 7 operating system, click “Hardware and sound,” and then “Mouse” in the “Control Panel.” To display “Mouse Properties” with Windows Vista and Windows XP operating systems, click “Mouse” in the “Control Panel.” (If you use Windows XP operating system, switch to Classic View.)Wireless communications The 2.4 GHz band used by Bluetooth devices and wireless LAN devices is also used by various other devices. Bluetooth devices and wireless LAN devices use the technology to minimize the interference from other devices that use the same wave length. Simultaneous use of the Bluetooth devices and wireless LAN devices, however, may cause radio interference and result in reduced communication speeds and distance than the standard values. The data transfer rate will vary depending on distance and obstacles between devices, device configuration, radio interference, operating system, software application, and so on. In some cases, communication may be interrupted. Communication range will vary according to whether walls or other obstacles are located between devices, the material used in walls, the presence of radio frequency interference and other environmental conditions, and the type of software being used. If Bluetooth functionality and wireless LAN functionality are used at the same time on the same personal computer, communication speed may be reduced due to electromagnetic interference, and other unwanted effects may occur.MaintenanceWhen you clean the mouse, make sure to remove the batteries.Clean the outside of the mouse with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use any type of abrasive pad, scouring powder, or solvent such as alcohol or benzine.SpecificationsButtons / Wheel 2 buttons / 1 wheelPosition tracking method Laser sensorSensor resolution 300 dot/cm (800 dpi)Communication method Bluetooth Standard Ver. 3.0Communication distance 10 m (32 ft.) max. line of sight *Frequency band 2.4 GHzPower requirements Two LR6 (size AA) alkaline batteriesBattery life Approx. 3 months (alkaline batteries) **Dimensions Approx. 53.0 × 31.0 × 112.4 mm (2.1 × 1.3 × 4.5 in) (w × h × d)Mass Approx. 105 g (3.8 oz.)
