Wireless Optical Mouse USERS MANUAL Model #: DC26 System Requirement Mouse compatible with standard Microsoft mode 3rd button and wheel function require Win98/2000/ME/XP Before you begin Keep this installation guide for future reference! It contains Important Troubleshooting Information. Keep your old PS/2 mouse as a back-up device. Getting Started Congratulations on your purchase of an 800dpi (or 400dpi) WIRELESS OPTICAL MOUSE. By using the advanced RF technology a 360operation is possible and no line-of-sight is required between the receiver and the mouse. The 800dpi high resolution will bring users the best operation accuracy and efficiency, especially for a display of 1024*768 or higher. It operates at twice the speed and only requires 1/4 of the space in comparison to a 400dpi mouse. Package Contains Your DC26 Mouse package includes the following:
1. Optical Mouse 2. Receiver 3. Users manual 4. CD-ROM Driver for Windows 98/2000/ME/XP(Optional) 5. 2 AAA size alkaline batteries NoteIf any part is missing, please contact your dealer for a replacement immediately. Precaution The optical mouse cannot work on a glass or mirror surface. Avoid operating this mouse on a glossy surface. Otherwise, this mouse may not operate normally. For consideration of saving battery power, it is strongly recommended to operate 1 an optical mouse on a bright surface with fine texture to obtain lower power consumption of the high illumination LED. A very dark surface will cause higher power consumption. For optimal performance, place the receiver at least 8 inches or 20 centimeters away from other electrical devices, such as the computer, the computer monitor, speakers or other external storage drives. For a better transmission distance, avoid using this device on a metal plate or desktop because a large surface of iron, aluminum, copper and other metal will act as a shield or ground to the RF antenna of the mouse and receiver. Operating on a metal surface may shorten the transmission distance. If your notebook computer has a metal (contains Al or Mg) case, the metal housing of the LCD panel will isolate partial radiation of the RF signal from the mouse. This could possibly result in reducing the distance of transmission when you operate the mouse right in front of the notebook and when the receiver is connected on the back of the notebook. However, the RF mouse should work properly while you are operating the mouse just beside your desktop computer. Installation Guide (Mouse) Step 1. Inserting the Batteries 1. Remove the battery cover by pushing down the Tab and the battery cover will spring off. 2. There are signs to indicate the polarity of the batteries. Carefully follow the signs to place the batteries. Dont reverse the polarity!
3. Put the cover back and make sure it is firmly closed. 2 Step 2. Synchronize the RF Mouse If the mouse is in sleep mode click the mouse button once to wake it up. 1. Plug the receiver into the notebook Computers USB ports or into the keyboards USB port. 2. Bring the mouse within 1 ft range from the receiver, Hold the mouse upside-down and use a pointed object, such as a pen tip, to click the CONNECT button once. Do Not depress the CONNECT button longer then 1.5 seconds. (The red sensor light will go off when the CONNECT button is pressed down.)
! Please poke the Mouse Connect button first, and then click the receivers button!
1. Plug into USB Port 2. Click 3. Click 3. Click the receivers connect button once (located on the back of the receiver) within 5 seconds of clicking the connect button on the mouse. The LED will start blinking, when the connection is established. 4. Move the mouse around to test if it was successful. 5. If the synchronization is not successful for some reason please (1) Remove the batteries and unplug the receivers (2) Wait for 20 sec then to try the step 1 to 4 again. Note: * During normal use, please make sure that the mouse is no more than 3 ft away from the receiver in order to have reliable connection.
** The LED on the receiver will light up or blink while the mouse is being used. Operation Guide Battery low indication When the voltage level of the battery goes down under the preset level, the scrolling wheel will flash at least three times on moving or clicking the mouse. Although the mouse can still work for a while, the user, at this time, should have a new set of 3 batteries ready for replacement. Or, if the user has a companion charger base, and Two re-chargeable batteries are inside the mouse, charge the mouse as soon as possible. Power off the mouse 1. Be sure the mouse is NOT in sleep mode. If it is, press any key to wake it up. 2. Press and hold the Connect button on the bottom of the mouse for more than 2 seconds. (The red light will go off while the Connect button is depressed.) 3. Wait until the red light flash once. Release the Connect button. 4. Now, the mouse is in power off mode. No operation can be done. Power on the mouse To activate the mouse again, press the Connect button on the bottom of the mouse once. (DO NOT depress the Connect button for more than 1.5 seconds when resuming the mouse from power off mode.) The red light will turn on, and the mouse is ready for normal operation. Note: Be sure to press the connect button firmly in procedure, if the connect button is not depressed steadily the red light will be on before 2 seconds expire. This will result in a change of channel and ID. Dont panic, just re-connect the mouse to the receiver, and follow step 4 again. Operations on power saving mode In order to conserve battery power, the mouse is designed to reduce power consumption gradually from standby mode to sleep mode, if it is not being used. Standby mode Around 2 seconds after the mouse stops moving, it enter into standby mode. Sleep mode If the mouse is left intact for around 8 minutes, it goes to sleep mode and shuts down the optical sensor to maintain minimum power consumption. No moving operation is possible in this mode. Wake up the mouse This mouse can work promptly under Standby mode so users might not be able to tell the existence of this mode. But, in sleep mode, users have to press any button to wake up the mouse for normal operation. 4 GENERAL SPECIFICATIONS

2. Reducing Interference with Other Wireless Devices
Reducing Interference with Other Wireless Devices:
All 27MHz radio-based devices are subject to interference from other 27MHz radio-based devices, such as cordless telephones, cordless baby monitors, and cordless toys. It may help to move the receiver unit and the base unit of other wireless devices (such as cordless telephone cradle) as far apart as possible. You may need to try several times for a location that is best in your operating environment.
Move the receiver and the mouse closer to each other so that the receiver is relatively shorter in distance to the mouse than to other 27MHz transmitters. You may need to re-establish the connection. 6 Note: Avoid using this device on a metal surface because a large surface of iron, aluminum, copper, or other metal may act like a shielding to the RF antenna of the mouse and the receiver. 3. Interference with other RF wireless mouse If the interference comes from other same model of RF wireless mice, please Setting up connection between mouse and receiver of the installation guide to switch to a new RF channel. A new identification code is also generated upon the completion of channel switching. Normally, the effective transmission distance is about 3 feet, depending on the environment. If the effective distance between the mouse and the receiver is bad, try to change the location of the receiver. 4. If you have difficulty connecting the wireless mouse:
Increase the distance between the set of wireless mouse and other radio device units.
Turn off the other wireless devices, or their base units that are in close proximity to the receiver of this wireless mouse.
