Introduction Copyright  2003 Perific AB 5 Introduction Welcome as a new Wireless Dual Mouse user. We at Perific hope that you will find the Wireless Dual Mouse a useful tool and that it will become a natural part of your daily computer routine. We recommend that you read this manual in full to ensure that the mouse is installed and used in the correct manner. The Wireless Dual Mouse is a rechargeable wireless optical mouse that can be used as a traditional mouse or alternatively as a handheld device. This makes it possible for the Wireless Dual Mouse to offer many alternative manners of usage allowing you to vary your working position in front of the computer. By repeatedly varying your working position, ergonomic problems such as pain and stiffness in hands, arms, and neck can be avoided. These complaints are commonly known as mouse arm, which is a collective term for a multitude of medical problems related to the use of a computer mouse or other input device. Mouse Arm Syndrome (MAS) is a form of RSI - Repetitive Stress Injury.

Start using the mouse Copyright  2003 Perific AB 7 Start using the mouse Step 1 – Insert the batteries Use the supplied batteries. Batteries other than NiMH are not recommended. 1. Remove the battery cover. 2. Insert the batteries according to the instructions on the mouse. 3. Replace the battery cover. Step 2 – Select the correct size battery cover for your hand The mouse is supplied with three differently sized battery covers, small, medium (as supplied) and large. With the different battery covers you can adjust the size of the mouse to the size of your hand so that it feels comfortable when not using it on the desktop. 1. Place the mouse in the left hand. 2. Test the mouse by switching between the different sizes of battery covers until the mouse fits comfortably, without being too tight or too loose. Step 3 – Connect the receiver/charger to the computer Communication between the receiver and the mouse makes use of radio waves; this means that a “line of sight” placement is not required. 1. Turn on the computer 2. Connect the receiver’s USB plug into an available USB jack on the computer. 3. Place the receiver close to the area where you will use the mouse. The effective range is approx. 1,5 meters.
8 Copyright  2003 Perific AB Step 4 – Charging the mouse The mouse can be charged while in use; this is so the mouse can be used at all times, even when the batteries are not charged. However, we recommend always charging the mouse when is not being used. This way, there will never be a situation where the mouse cannot be used without a cable. 1. Pull out the charge cable which is wrapped in the bottom of the receiver/charger 2. Connect the charge plug to the charge jack on the mouse. LED indicator: • Flashes slowly (0,5 Hz) when the mouse is charging. • Shines steadily when the mouse is fully charged. • Flashes rapidly (2-3 Hz) when the mouse needs to be charged. • Is dark when the battery is OK and the mouse is not charging. The charge time is approx. 5 hours when the batteries are exhausted. Operating time is about 15 hours when used intensively and about 1 week when used regularly. The operating time is influenced by the type of surface the mouse is used on. Step 5 – Synchronise the mouse with the receiver Radio synchronisation needs to be set up in order to establish communication between the receiver and the mouse. This is accomplished as described in the following steps: 1. Hold down and let go of the synchronisation button on the receiver. The button on the receiver will begin to flash slowly with a red light. 2. Hold down and let go of the synchronisation button on the mouse. The LED on the receiver will flash at faster intervals when the button is pushed. From now on the light indicator on the receiver will flash irregularly depending on the amount of data the receiver needs to process. 3. The mouse is now ready to use!
9 Copyright  2003 Perific AB Usage and Handling of the Mouse Before starting to use the mouse, it is important to have followed the installation instructions in the previous section. The Wireless Dual Mouse is intended for use in the right hand or with both hands. It is possible to use the mouse in a variety of different ways; this manual describes the most common ones. Do use the mouse in other ways if this feels comfortable. Tips and advice for better ergonomics There is no working position or product that is ergonomically optimal in all respects. There are some working positions which are better than others, but the most important thing is to vary your working position as often as possible. Research has shown that repetitive movement over long periods of time, unsuitable work postures, bad working environments, and bad working routines may lead to physical problems such as damage to nerves, tendons and muscles. Your work posture not only has an influence on your health but also on your productivity. You should contact a physician if you are experiencing pain, numbness, prickling sensations, weakness, swelling, cramp, heat or stiffness in hands, wrists, arms, shoulders, neck, or back. The sooner you act upon your problems, the easier it will be to remedy them. For more information or guidance about a good working environment and ergonomics, we refer you to our web site www.perific.com or www.perific.se. Usage of the mouse on a table or another surface Attaching and removing the mouse cover When operated on a table or another surface the mouse may be used with or without the cover. This depends on user preference. Attaching the cover 1. The cover is attached by sliding it along the mouse from the side and back. 2. You will hear a click when the cover is attached. Removing the cover 1. The cover is removed by lifting it from the back. 2. Pull the cover back and sideways while lifting.
Usage and Handling of the Mouse 10 Copyright  2003 Perific AB Use as a traditional mouse The Wireless Dual Mouse can be used just like an ordinary mouse, i.e.: • the front left and right buttons are used to mark text and to select items on menus. • the scroll wheel is used to scroll though documents easily • Note: in this mode the rear buttons will not be used. For a detailed description of each button’s functionality, see the section Overview of mouse functionality at the beginning of this manual. The mouse is held and used as shown at right. Bear in mind that the mouse is intended for right-handed usage. The Wireless Dual Mouse works on most surfaces but you should avoid too smooth, too transparent or too dark a surface. If you encounter problems, use a mousepad. Trackball usage The trackball can be used while the Wireless Dual Mouse is in place on the desktop. The functionality is identical to that described above; the difference is that instead of moving the mouse, the trackball is used when moving the cursor on the screen. The Wireless Dual Mouse is held and used as shown to the right. The trackball is thumb-controlled and the buttons and scroll wheel are operated in the same way as described above. Trackball positioning is shown in the image below. Note: Bear in mind that simultaneously moving the mouse and trackball will make it difficult to control the cursor on screen. Therefore, avoid moving the mouse when using the trackball.
Usage and Handling of the Mouse Copyright  2003 Perific AB 11 Handheld usage of the mouse When using the Wireless Dual Mouse away from the desktop, the mouse cover should not be on. The two most common work positions are described below. There are many other work positions that can be tested and we recommend that you use the one that works best for you. Do bear in mind that varying your working position is the key to good ergonomics. Two hand usage This work position offers beneficial ergonomics such that the user’s shoulders are in a neutral position and arms are close to the body. This manner of working is ideal for reading or collecting information. The user is able to lean back comfortably and there is no need to bend forward to reach for a mouse. Two-handed usage allows for working with precision while maintaining a comfortable and relaxed fashion. 1. Place the mouse on your left hand. 2. Fold your hands together. 3. Use your right-hand thumb to control the trackball. 4. Use your left-hand to control the rear buttons. 5. Use your right hand to control the front buttons and the scroll wheel.
Usage and Handling of the Mouse 12 Copyright  2003 Perific AB Combined usage with a keyboard When using the mouse with two hands as described above, the keyboard can be used without having to remove the Wireless Dual Mouse from your hand. It is important to choose the right size of battery cover so that working this way feels comfortable. When navigating on screen the user need only place his/her hands together and steer the trackball with the right-hand thumb. This way of working is ergonomically very beneficial because there is no need to reach for a mouse. The user’s arms remain in front of and close to the body. One-handed usage If the user prefers, the Wireless Dual Mouse can also be operated with one hand. The mouse is held in the right hand. The user is free to lean back comfortably in their chair, or even to get up and move around. This allows for the possibility of a completely unrestricted working posture. The trackball is controlled by the thumb, and the front left button is operated by the index finger. However, this grip does not offer a comfortable hold of the scroll wheel or right mouse button. Furthermore, the rear button cannot be used.
