7 Troubleshooting
If you have any problems with your mouse, please check the
following:
• Check the system requirements to make sure that your system
is compatible.
• Check to see if the batteries in the mouse are installed
correctly. Make sure the polarity of the batteries corresponds
with the polarity signs inside the mouse battery compartments.
• When the mouse LED is lit red, it indicates battery power low.
Replace them with new batteries immediately.
• Once the Mouse Suite (see “Installing the Mouse Suite” on
page 6) is installed on your computer, the battery status of your
mouse is displayed my moving the mouse over the mouse icon
in your system tray. See “About the Mouse Suite icon” on
page 12.
• If the mouse fails to work, check the USB mouse function in
your system’s BIOS. The function should be enabled for
normal use.
• If your PC BIOS setup has mouse options, make sure they are
set to default settings. If you are not familiar with the BIOS,
refer to your PC’s manual for more information.
• Only use the mouse on a clean, flat, non-slippery surface in
order to ensure smooth and accurate cursor action. If you use
a mouse-pad, darker colors require more battery power.
For further assistance with any other questions you may have, please
contact your dealer for technical support.
