Please take the time to read the following instructions carefully. They will ensure youget full use out of your mouse and keep it working reliably for many years.The Memorex cordless optical mouse has a receiver with a PS/2 connector and also comes with a PS/2 to USBadapter. Being IBM compatible, it can run on nearly all modern PCs. The key features of the mouse include thecombination of the latest cordless and optical technologies and an innovative, ergonomic design with the uniqueMemorex MouseportTM desktop charger.With cordless technology you can free your desktop from cables and enjoy the flexibility of being able to work whereit suits you. No more worries about how long your cable is or if it is getting tangled! As the Memorex cordless mouseis moved, it transmits signals of electromagnetic energy to the receiver, providing a very precise cursor control. Theoutput power is low and harmless, but strong enough to have a good detection by the receiver. And with Memorex360° technology, don’t worry which way your mouse is pointing, or if a cup or book is in the way. You’ll still gettrouble free performance every time.Combined with optical technology, as soon as the mouse is moved, a light beam from within the mouse illuminatesthe surface on which the mouse is resting. At the same time, an optical sensor tracks the movement of the mouseacross the surface. There’s no mouse ball and no internal rollers, so no cleaning is required and you don’t even needa mousemat!The mouse is perfect for both right and left-handed people. Using the supplied Memorex mouse software, you canspecify your own scroll and zoom function settings as well as configure the additional right and left mouse buttonsfrom a range of other predefined functions. These buttons allow you, for example, to scroll effortlessly while you’resurfing the internet or working with a text editing program. You don’t need to use the scrollbar or the arrow keys. Thescrolling direction depends on the direction in which the mouse is moved and the way the scrolling function hasbeen configured. And of course, the usual Window settings such as cursor speed and mouse pointer display can stillbe selected via the Control Panel and Mouse Properties menu.MX4350RFMX4350RFMX4350RF
