How to Use the Wireless Mouse
Before you start:
• The original PC keyboard and mouse need to be connected to the PC for it
boot up properly.
• The PC mouse should not be used at the exact same time as the Wireless
Mouse. Using both of them simultaneously may produce unexpected
results.
Set up the Wireless Mouse
1.
Remove the battery compartment cover
and insert 3 new AAA batteries (supplied).
The Wireless Mouse is powered by 3 AAA
batteries located in the battery compartment under
a snap-on cover on the back of the device. Insert
the batteries as indicated by the polarity symbols
(+ and -) marked inside the battery compartment.
2.
Close the battery compartment cover.
3.
Calibrate the Wireless Mouse.
The Wireless Mouse needs to be calibrated each
time its batteries are replaced. To calibrate, press and hold the joystick straight down
once, then move the joystick around completely in each direction (right, left,
forward, back).
4.
Verify the Wireless Mouse is working properly.
Go to the personal computer connected to the Avcast entertainment system and make
sure that it is switched on. Position yourself in front of the PC and manipulate the
mouse joystick to verify it is communicating with the computer properly. You should
be able to see the cursor moving around on the screen. Go to the troubleshooting
information in Appendix B if the Wireless Mouse does not appear to be
communicating with the PC.
Next, go to a TV connected to the Avcast entertainment system and make sure that it
is switched on. Position yourself in front of the TV and manipulate the mouse
joystick to verify it is communicating with the computer properly. You should be
able to see the cursor moving around on the TV screen the same way you did on the
PC screen. If the Wireless Mouse does not appear to be communicating with the PC
at that location, you need to make some adjustments to the physical placement of the
PC Caster to improve the RF (remote) reception. Go to the RF Positioning of PC
Caster section of the PC Caster User’s Guide for more information.
