Targus Wireless RF Mouse
Operating System
• Windows® 98/Me/2000/XP
NOTE: The third button and the scrolling wheel only work
with the operating systems listed above. If you use the RF
mouse with a different operating system, it will lose its
enhanced features and function as a standard, twobutton
mouse.
Connecting the Mouse Receiver
To connect the mouse receiver:
1 Plug the USB receiver into an available USB port on
your computer.
2 Your computer’s operating system identifies the receiver
and begins installing the default driver.
Follow any on-screen procedures to complete the
default driver installation.
Using the RF Mouse
Installing the Batteries
1 If the mouse is on, slide the on/off switch on the bottom
of the mouse to the “off” position.
2 Remove the battery cover from the top of the mouse by
pressing the battery cover hinge located on the bottom
of the mouse and sliding it off.
NOTE: The battery cover is also the top cover of the
mouse.

3 Insert the supplied batteries, making sure that the
positive (+) and negative (-) ends of each battery match
the polarity indicators inside the battery housing.
WARNINGS: When replacing the batteries, you may use
alkaline or other heavy-duty NiMH batteries. Never use an
alkaline with a NiMH battery in a device.
Avoid mixing new and used batteries in a device.
4 Slide the battery cover back into position until it “clicks”
firmly into place.
5 Turn on the mouse be sliding the on/off switch on the
bottom of the mouse to the “on” position.
The optical sensor, located on the bottom of the mouse,
glows red.
Establishing a Communications Link
The RF mouse has 256 identification codes that allow the
mouse and its receiver to operate without interference from
other radio frequency devices.
After your computer detects the USB receiver and the
driver software is installed, you must establish a
communications link between the mouse and its receiver
BEFORE you can use the mouse. To establish this link, you
need to set the identification code so that the mouse works
properly. To do this, follow the instructions below:
Make sure that your computer is turned on and has
detected the USB receiver before you establish a
communications link.
1 Press and release the link button on the receiver.

Receiver
The USB connector rotates 90 degrees to facilitate easy
connection to your computer.
The receiver’s status light blinks when the receiver is
activated.
2 Press and release the reset button, located on the
bottom of the mouse.
You are now ready to use the RF mouse.
Mouse Power Management
To power the mouse on and off, slide the on/off switch at
the bottom of the mouse to the desired position.
Mouse
When power is on, the mouse goes into "sleep mode" after
8 minutes of no use. To activate the mouse, touch the
sensor strips on the side with your hand.
To save battery power, turn off the mouse while traveling or
when you’re not using it.
CAUTION: Turning off the mouse will require you to
synchronize again the next time you turn it back on.

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 a 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 RF 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 RF mouse will enter a suspend mode at the same
time your computer does. To activate the mouse, touch
the sensor strips on the side of the mouse.
• If your computer has a metal case that contains aluminum
or magnesium, use the RF 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 RF mouse on a glass or mirrored surface
as these surfaces will cause the mouse to fail temporarily.
• To maximize battery life, use the RF 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.

Sleep Mode
• The mouse’s sleep mode feature activates after 8 minutes
of non-operation.
• To wake the mouse from sleep mode, touch the sensor
strips on the side of the mouse.
• When the battery charge is running low, the battery
indicator light at the end of the mouse glows blue.

Troubleshooting
What do I do if the RF mouse does not work?
• Make sure that the polarity of the batteries is correct. The
positive (+) and negative (-) ends of each battery must
match the positive (+) and negative (-) connections in the
battery housing.
• Check that the receiver’s USB connector is firmly
attached to the USB port on your computer.
• Verify that the device drivers are installed.
• Make sure you have established a radio link between the
mouse and its receiver. See “Establishing a
Communications Link” in sections above
