Owner’s Manual

for installing, setting up and using your new product

Thank you for buying an HP USB 27 MHz Wireless

Optical Mouse. The mouse’s advanced RF (radio frequency) technology enables 360-degree operation around your computer - no line-of-sight placement required. Its ergonomic design lets you hold and use it comfortably. The mouse’s optical technology senses mouse movements precisely and smoothly, with no moving parts to clean or replace.

System Requirements

• Hardware — IBM PC or compatible with one available USB port and a CD drive.

• Software — Microsoft Windows 98, Windows

98SE, Windows 2000, Windows ME, or

Windows XP.

Windows NT does not support the USB interface.

Step One

Installing the Batteries

1. Open the battery compartment cover by squeezing the mouse’s sides where it attaches to the mouse as shown.

2. While squeezing the sides of the mouse, pull the battery compartment cover out with your other hand.

Installing Software

As Windows 98/98 SE does not support the mouse’s scroll function, you must install the supplied software to use the mouse. Follow these steps ONLY if you have Windows 98/98 SE.

1. Make sure the supplied USB receiver is connected to the computer.

2. Insert the supplied mouse driver CD into your computer’s CD ROM drive.

3. Follow the on-screen instructions to finish installing the mouse driver.

What’s Included

Mouse USB Receiver Charger

AC Adapter Owner’s Manual Driver CD

AA Ni-MH Rechargeable Batteries (2)

3. Insert the two supplied Ni-MH batteries into the battery compartment as indicated by the polarity markings (+ and -) marked inside.

4. Replace the battery compartment cover.

Step Two

Charging the Batteries

1. Connect the supplied AC adapter to the DC jack on the back of the supplied charger.

Then, plug the other end of the adapter into a standard

AC outlet.

2. Place the mouse’s charging contacts on the charger’s contacts to charge the batteries.

The green charging indicator lights. Charge the rechargeable batteries at least 8 hours before you use the mouse for the first time.

Caution: You must use a regulated Class II power source that supplies 5V DC and delivers at least

450 mA. Its center tip must be set to positive and its plug must fit the charger’s DC jack. The supplied

AC adapter meets these specifications. Using an adapter that does not meet these specifications could damage the charger or the adapter.

Notes:

• The mouse wheel flashes blue when the battery is low.

• You can also use AA alkaline batteries in the mouse if the rechargeable batteries are weak.

If you do this, be sure not to place the mouse in the charger.

• You must reset the channel when you replace the rechargeable batteries. See “Setting the

Channel” for more information.

Step Four

Connecting the Charger to the Computer

1. Plug the supplied USB receiver into the

USB socket on the back of the charger.

2. Plug the charger’s USB connector into a

USB port on your computer.

Step Five

USB Receiver

Synchronizing the Mouse

1. Plug the supplied USB receiver into the

USB port for the supplied charger, your computer, or keyboard.

2. Place the mouse within 1 foot of the

USB receiver.

3. Use a pointed object such as a pen to press Connect on the bottom of the mouse for less than 1 second.

4. Press Synchronization on the USB receiver. The blue LED on the USB receiver flashes, showing that the mouse and USB receiver are synchronized.

Note: If the mouse and USB receiver do not synchronize, remove the batteries from the mouse and unplug the USB receiver. Then wait about 20 seconds. Next, reinstall the batteries in the mouse and repeat the steps in this section.

5. Move the mouse around. The cursor on your computer screen should move, showing that the mouse is ready to use. The blue LED on the USB receiver lights when you use the mouse.

Step Three

Setting the Channel

Your mouse uses two

RF channels and up to

256 ID codes. Channel and ID are automatically selected when you connect the mouse to the receiver.

Connect

When you change the batteries in your mouse or receive interference from another wireless mouse, you must set the RF channel.

To set the channel, use a pointed object to press

Connect on the bottom of the mouse.

Step Six

Using the Charger With the USB Receiver

The supplied charger with USB port and cable and

USB receiver make it easy to connect the mouse to a notebook computer for traveling or a desktop computer at home. When traveling, you can detach the USB receiver from the charger and then attach it to your notebook computer. When at home, you can attach the USB receiver to the charger and then connect the charger’s USB cable to the computer.

Note: If you attach the supplied mini USB receiver to your notebook computer, always carry the charger separately so you can charge the mouse whenever necessary.

Turning the Mouse On/Off

To avoid interfering with other devices, we suggest that you turn off the mouse in public locations when you are not using it.

To turn off the mouse, use a pointed object to press

Connect on the bottom of the mouse for about 2 seconds until the red LED flashes once. The optical sensor turns off.

To turn on the mouse, use a pointed object to hold down Connect for about 1 second. The red LED lights.

Important Note: Do not hold down Connect for more than 1.5 seconds when turning on the mouse after it automatically turns itself off.

Operation Notes

• Do not use your mouse on a desk made of glass, a mirror, iron, or black velvet.

• Use the mouse only on a flat surface.

Otherwise, the optical sensor will not work.

• If you use the mouse on a metal desk, try using a mouse pad and reduce the distance between the mouse and the USB receiver.

• You must set a channel and ID (see “Setting the Channel”) before it will work in DOS

(disk operating system).

• For optimal performance, place the USB receiver at least 8 inches (20 cm) away from other electrical devices.

• If you use your mouse with a notebook computer with aluminum or magnesium in its case, it might reduce the mouse’s range.

• Autoscroll cannot work properly on some application software, such as MicroSoft Works,

FrontPage, and AdobeAcrobat.

Power Save

To conserve battery power, the mouse is designed to gradually reduce power consumption when you stop moving it.

If you do not move it for about 2 seconds, it enters its standby mode. Simply move the mouse to resume. If you do not move it for about 9 minutes, it enters its sleep mode. Press any button on your mouse to resume.

Customizing the Mouse

Click Start\Programs\Control Panel\Mouse. The Mouse Properties dialog box appears. From here you can click on any of the tabs and customize your mouse’s buttons and functions.

Tips for Improving Operation

Reducing Interference with Other Wireless Devices

All 27 MHz radio-based devices are subject to interference from other 27 MHz radio-based devices such as cordless telephones, cordless baby monitors, and cordless toys. Moving the receiver and the base of other wireless devices as far apart as possible helps improve operation. You might need to try several locations to find one that works best. Move the receiver and the mouse closer to each other so the receiver’s distance to the mouse is shorter than between the mouse and other transmitters. You might even need to reconnect the mouse to eliminate interference.

Reducing Interference with Another Wireless Mouse

If another wireless mouse is interfering with your mouse, switch to a new RF channel. A new identification code is generated when you switch channels.

Normally, the effective transmission distance is about 3 feet (1 meter), depending on the environment. If the distance between the mouse and the receiver is out of range, try to move the receiver closer to the mouse.
