Operating Hints
For optimal performance and RF reception:
•Place the receiver at least 8 inches (20 cm) away from all electrical devices, such as your monitor, speakers or external storage devices.
•Avoid using the optical mouse on a metal surface. Metals, such as iron, aluminum or copper, shield the radio frequency transmission and may slow down the mouse’s response time or cause the mouse to fail temporarily.
•The optical mouse will enter a suspend mode at the same time your computer does. To wake the mouse, press and release the screen scroller (middle) button.
•If your computer has a metal case that contains aluminum or magnesium, use the optical mouse to the side. The display panel may interfere with the radio frequency signal if you use the mouse directly in front of the computer.
•Never use the optical mouse on a glass or mirrored surface as these surfaces will cause the mouse to fail temporarily.
•To maximize battery life, use the optical mouse on a white, or light colored surface. Dark surfaces cause the mouse’s light emitter diode (LED) light to glow brighter, which causes the battery to discharge more rapidly.
Comfortable Usage
Research suggests that physical discomfort and injury to nerves, tendons, and muscles may be related to repetitive motion, an improperly set up work area, incorrect body posture, and poor work habits.
