'Push' Button (left mouse) Dimple Button (press for L-R scroll)
'Squeeze' Buttons (right mouse) Power Button Bearing USB Connector Recharge Connector Optical Sensor Hidden Reset Button Retainer Ring Base Station Mouse in range USB power 2 Recharge The Orbita Mouse features an inbuilt rechargeable battery. The mouse can be recharged by placing it on the Base Station. You will note that it will only fit properly at the correct angle. The Orbita Mouse will play a tone when it begins charging, and the blue light in the Dimple Button will glow while it is charging. When the battery is full (approximately 3 hours) the mouse will play another tone and the Dimple Button will stop glowing. Because the Orbita Mouse uses a high quality Lithium Polymer battery, it is not necessary to run it down between charges. The battery can be
'topped up' at any time. For best results, please connect the Base Station directly to a USB port on your computer, or to a powered USB Hub or USB power supply with at least 500mA capacity. USB extension cables and unpowered hubs may impair the recharging performance of your Orbita Mouse. The battery in the Orbita is not designed to be user replaceable, but is rated for five years of typical service*. If the battery becomes ineffective during the servicable life of your Orbita, please contact your service representative. If you hear the battery error tone, this indicates a failure of the battery or charging system. Please contact your service representative. Warning: Do not allow any metal objects to touch the recharge connectors on the Orbita Mouse or Base Station!
* Please note that battery life depends on usage and is not covered by any special warranty. 3 Recharge Tones Recharge the battery before first use. 1. Connect USB plug to PC
or USB power supply 2. Put mouse on base 3. Tone is played when the battery is full Charging Full Error 3 hours 4 Calibrate Your Orbita Mouse contains a sophisticated electronic compass to enable it to track rotation and direction. The compass senses the Earth's magnetic field, which varies between difference locations. So, it is necessary to calibrate the Orbita Mouse to your particular location. Once you have calibrated the mouse, it will remember its calibration and should not need to be calibrated again unless you move it to a new location. For best results:
Calibrate the Orbita Mouse in the position you will use it,
for example on your mouse pad.
Keep the mouse flat on the desk during calibration.
Rotate the mouse through two full revolutions, over a
time period of about 10 seconds.
Please also see the warning about magnetic interference
later in this manual.
5 6 Calibrate Tones The compass must be calibrated to your location of use. 1. Press and hold Calibrate /
Orientate Button for 2 seconds 2. Rotate mouse 720 in 10 seconds 3. Press Calibrate / Orientate Button
GO STOP 2 seconds 10 seconds Short press 0 2 7 6 Orientate Unlike a normal mouse, your Orbita Mouse keeps track of its own direction using its inbuilt compass. So, you can rotate the mouse to any angle as you use it, and it will still know which way is up. But first, you need to tell your Orbita Mouse which way 'Up' is for your workspace. This is the direction you need to move the mouse to make your on-screen pointer move up towards the top of your screen. This is done by simply pointing the arrow-shaped Calibrate / Orientate Button to your preferred "Up" direction and pressing it. A rising tone confirms that your orientation has been set. You might like to experiment with a few orientation angles to find the most comfortable angle for you. A suggestion is to align the mouse with the direction in which your arm naturally lies when you are holding the mouse.
7 Orientate Tones The "Up" direction for the mouse pointer must be set for your workspace. 1. Point mouse to "Up" direction 2. Press Calibrate / Orientate Button
"Up"
Short press 8 Wireless Connect Your Orbita Mouse is ready to communicate with its Base Station as soon as you take it out of its box. If, however, there are other Orbitas within wireless range of yours (about 10 meters), you can uniquely connect your Orbita to its Base Station to avoid interference. This will also assist if you are experiencing interference from other wireless devices which use the 2.4Ghz band.
9 Wireless Connect Tones The Orbita Mouse can be uniquely connected to the Base Station. 1. Put mouse on Base Station 2. Press & hold 'Push' Button for 2 seconds 2 seconds 10 Power Your Orbita Mouse is optimised for battery life with inbuilt power management features. The mouse will automatically go to sleep after 5 minutes of inactivity. Simply press any button to wake it up again. If you are travelling with the mouse and you want to make sure it doesn't switch on, switch it off using the Power Button on the bottom. Once the Orbita is switched off, and can only be switched on by pressing the Power Button again. When the battery is low (about 30 minutes operation remaining) it will periodically play a low battery warning tone. When the battery reaches critical level, the Orbita will play a shutdown tone and enter shutdown mode. From this mode, the Orbita can only be woken up by placing it on recharge.
11 Power The mouse can be switched off for transporting. 1. Press the Power Button
to switch on or off 2. Warning tones for low battery 3. The mouse will enter shutdown

For this reason we have included a hidden Reset Button in case things go awry. This button can be operated with a straightened paperclip or similar. Inidications that your Orbita needs to be reset include:
The mouse will not switch on or off using the Power Button
The Orientate / Calibrate button stops responding
The mouse will not enter recharge mode Please note that resetting the Orbita Mouse will not effect your calibration, orientation or wireless connection settings. Please also refer to the Troubleshooting section of this user manual for dealing with other issues you might experience. 13 Reset If mouse stops responding to the Power Button or malfunctions: 1. Use a paper clip or similar to operate
the hidden Reset Button 2. Use Power Button to switch on 3.

Luckily, we have designed the Orbita for easy maintenance of the bearing system. Also, the silicone shell can be easily removed for cleaning should it become dirty from use. Please take care and follow these guidelines:
Only use a dry cloth, or soap and water to clean
the bearing parts and silicone shell of your Orbita.
Make sure the parts are completely dry before
refitting them to your Orbita.
Do not use solvents on any parts of your Orbita.
The bearing is self-lubricating. Do not apply oil or
other lubricants to any part of your Orbita Mouse
as it can cause damage.
Do not attempt to disassemble the main body of your
Orbita Mouse and do not to allow any water or other
liquid to enter it.
The bearing surface within the main body can be
cleaned with a dry cloth only.
17 Maintenance - 1 The bearing and silicone shell can be removed for cleaning. 1. Remove Retainer Ring 2. Wash & dry bearing Warning: do not wet the mouse body!
6 months 18 Maintenance - 2 Once the Retainer Ring has been removed, if desired you can peel off the silicone shell for washing. Some tips for reassembly:
Make sure the button features in the silicone shell are aligned
with those in the main body when replacing it.
Make sure the rim of the silicone shell is properly seated,
all the way around, after replacing it. It is a little like a
tire on a wheel rim.
Only attempt to replace the Retainer Ring with the silicone
shell and bearing parts properly in place.
When replacing the Retainer Ring, make sure it is flat, then
turn it clockwise until it clicks into place.
Test the bearing, and the button operation after reassembly. If any of the 'squeeze' buttons sticks after reassembly, try smoothing the silicone shell so it has even tightness all around.
