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.
• If necessary, use the three-inch extension cable to keep the receiver
away from the computer. Plug the receiver into the extension cable,
and the extension cable to the computer.
• Avoid using the mouse on a metal surface. Metals, such as iron, alumi-
num or copper, shield the radio frequency transmission and may slow
down the mouse’s response time or cause the mouse to fail temporarily.
• If your computer has a metal case that contains aluminum or magnesium,
use the 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 mouse on a glass or mirrored surface as these surfaces
will cause the mouse to fail temporarily.
• To maximize battery life, use the mouse on a white, or light colored sur-
face. Dark surfaces cause the mouse’s light emitter diode (LED) light to
glow brighter, which causes the battery to discharge more rapidly.
