Typical Application Scenario

Here’s a typical scenario that gives you an idea of what you can do with the power of the MouseRemote:

Program a couple of Web Sites into the numeric keys (e.g. 1 for www.x10.com, 2 for www.x10.com/support, etc.), then sit back in your armchair and press the PC button followed by the appropriate number button to launch your Web Browser and go to the address you programmed. Then using the channel up and down button s and volume up and down button s as scroll functions, page through the site, while listening to a CD that you started playing earlier.

After a while, skip back to track 7 on the CD by pressing the button you programmed to launch your PC’s CD player, followed by the button you programmed to skip back.

Then return to Web browsing mode by pressing the button you programmed to launch your Web Browser.

Later still, as it starts to get dark, press the X10 key and turn on the living room lights.*

Then pause your CD while you answer the phone.

Press the Power button to close your Web Browser and then press the button that you previously configured to dial your voice mail to pick up messages on your PC.

To configure the above:

Click the MouseRemote’s tray icon and select Maximize.

Right-click button 1. Click on the Web tab, then type the desired Web address. Click OK. Repeat the process for each URL you want to program for each numeric button.

Right-click on the button you want to launch your PC’s CD player, then click on the Multimedia tab. Select your media device and function (Play). Repeat the process for Stop, Pause, FF, REW, Mute, numeric keys.

Program other buttons to perform other functions, for example:

Program button 4 to launch your MP3 player, then program Play, Stop, Pause etc., to operate your MP3 player after you press 4.

Program button 5 to launch your Windows Media Player, then program Play, Stop, Pause etc., to operate your Windows Media Player after you press 5.

Program button 6 to launch your PC’s CD or DVD Player, then program Play, Stop, Pause etc., to operate it after you press 6.

Etc.

Note, in practise you probably won’t need to program all the buttons for your selected Media Player as the default buttons (Play, Stop, etc.) will most likely work just fine.
