8 Using MobileMouse MX-MM MobileMouse (MAC)
Changing the Batteries
The MobileMouse transmitter uses two AAA alkaline batteries.
1.
Remove the battery compartment cover by carefully pressing down on the cover
at the front edge, while sliding it toward the rear.
2.
Insert the batteries with the positive (+) and negative (–) orientation shown
inside the compartment (negative at the flat end of the battery).
Positioning the Receiver
The MobileMouse receiver is multi-positional. It can lay flat or be mounted on either
side, or it can be stood up. If you are placing it on a table or desktop, stand the
receiver up to minimize any disruption of the signal by the table or desk. When you
are mounting or positioning the receiver, be careful not to block the lens from line-
of-sight contact with the hand-held transmitter. If the room where you are using
MobileMouse is filled with furniture or people, you may wish to mount the receiver
up high to avoid interruptions of the transmitted signal.
Distance and Operating Angles
The MobileMouse can be used to distances up to 40 feet, depending on conditions
such as room size and electronic noise (such as lights and monitors). The transmitter
works by sending an infrared signal to the receiver. This signal is line-of-sight,
which means the transmitter must be pointed toward the receiver, and the gap
between the transmitter and receiver must not be blocked from normal vision. By
experimenting, you will find that the receiver and transmitter work throughout a
very broad range of use angles—you only need to point in the general direction of
the receiver to get smooth operation. For presenters, you may even find that you can
bounce the signal off of the presentation screen, or a wall, and back to the receiver.
Transporting the MobileMouse
When transporting MobileMouse, remove the batteries from the transmitter. While
MobileMouse does automatically go into a low-power sleep mode, we recommend
removing the batteries to extend their life even longer and to prevent undesirable
drain if the mouse-button or click buttons should become activated.
Note
If your MobileMouse’s
operational distance begins to
diminish, or if the cursor
motion becomes rough,
replace the batteries in the
transmitter to restore normal
performance.
