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
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, aluminum or copper,
shield the radio frequency transmission and may slow down the mouse’s response time
or cause the mouse to fail temporarily.
•
The mouse will enter a suspend mode at the same time your computer does. To activate
the mouse, simply move or click the mouse.
•
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 surface. Dark
surfaces cause the mouse’s light emitter diode (LED) light to glow brighter, which causes
the battery to discharge more rapidly.

Comfortable usage
Research suggests that physical discomfort and injury to nerves, tendons, and muscles
may be related to repetitive motion, an improperly set up work area, incorrect body
posture, and poor work habits.
To reduce the risk of injury, follow these precautions:
•
Stand, stretch, and move around several times every hour.
•
Switch hands while performing tasks. Use shortcut keys to avoid repetitive or awkward
mouse movements.
•
Relax your shoulders and keep your elbows at your sides. Adjust the keyboard’s
position so that you don’t have to stretch to reach it.
•
Adjust your position so that you don’t have to bend your wrists to type; avoid placing
your wrists on a sharp edge.
•
If you feel discomfort or numbness in your hands, wrists, arms, shoulders, neck, or back
while typing, consult a qualified medical professional.
