Advanced TopicsMouse SpeedThe speed of the mouse can be set in your Windows control panel or the Mouse preference pane of System Preferences.

TroubleshootingThe controller doesn’t work when I turn the power on. • If it’s never worked, you may need to insert batteries (p. 2) or pair the remote with your computer (PC p. 5, Mac p. 9). • If it worked 20 minutes ago, it may have gone into Sleep Mode to save power. To check, press the touchpad. If the green Activity LED does not turn on, slide the power switch to wake the unit back up.Movement of the cursor is jerky. • You may be too far away from the computer. Move closer and see if the problem gets better. • You may have too many items nearby using the 2.4 GHz frequency. Try moving the computer to another location to see if it improves. • Your computer may be frozen or processing data. Check to see if you have the same problem with a wired mouse. • Your batteries may be getting low. Try another pair.Page 16VP4750 Manual.indd 17 12/2/08 6:47:02 PM
Page 17When the computer goes into sleep mode, the remote does not operate or operates erratically. • Deactive the Bluetooth connection, wait a few seconds and then re-establish the connection.The mouse moves too fast / too slow. • The speed of the mouse can be set in your Windows control panel or the Mouse preference pane of System Preferences. The Scroll Strip does not work. • Not all programs support scrolling. Try scrolling on a wired mouse. If the wired mouse doesn’t work, you can check in the mouse section of Windows control panel to ensure it hasn’t been disabled. If it hasn’t been disabled, the program does not support mouse and touchpad scroll-ing.VP4750 Manual.indd 18 12/2/08 6:47:02 PM
