A. IntroductionCongratulations on your purchase of the Wireless Office ScrollProOptical Mouse! This mouse uses optical technology instead of adust-collecting roller ball to track movements. Signals are sent to a receiver by means of radio frequency (RF) in order to reduce inter-ference from other wireless devices such as TV remote controls andcordless phones. Please take time to read the following instructionscarefully. They will help you get full use of your mouse and keep itworking reliably for many years.B.

This ID-recognitionfunction helps protect against interference from other wirelessdevices in the same environment. After you have selected the samechannel on both the mouse and the receiver, the next step is tomatch the IDs of the mouse and receiver through the synchronizationprocess so that they can communicate with each other.• Turn the computer on.• Press once on the ID button on the top of the receiver. The green LED light below the button will start to blink slowly.ID Button of Receiver ID Button• Turn the mouse over and find its ID button near the top.

E. Using the MouseThe Wireless Office Scroll Pro Optical Mouse uses light to sensemovement. Use the mouse on an opaque surface. The opticalmouse cannot work on a glass, translucent, or reflective surfacethat deflects the light.The mouse goes into a sleep or suspend mode after 10 minutes.The blue light at the rear of the mouse turns off to indicate thatthe mouse is in its sleep mode. Move the mouse or click thescroll button (suggested) or one of its other buttons to wake it.You may notice that the mouse moves the cursor on the screen twiceas fast as a standard mouse does. The mouse moves the cursor at 800dots per inch (dpi) while a standard mouse moves the cursor at only400 dpi. You can change the cursor movement speed by using themouse properties in the CONTROL PANEL under MY COMPUTER.• Verify that the mouse and receiver are properly synchronized by moving the mouse around on a flat surface and clicking a button or two. If the green LED on the receiver blinks fast andsteadily with the movement of the mouse, the mouse and receiver are properly communicating.• If the receiver does not respond to movement of the mouse and you have repeated the synchronization process, check to see if the batteries are properly installed and that both the mouse and the receiver are set to the same channel number, then repeat the process again. If the mouse is still not workingproperly, check the "Troubleshooting" section for tips on how to solve your problem.• If you find interference from other wireless products such as other wireless mouse users nearby, try switching channels on the mouse and receiver and synchronize again.• You will need to resynchronize the mouse and the receiver if you remove the batteries for replacement or cleaning. The scroll wheel on the mouse will light up when the batteries are low on power. Replace them right away.
