TARGUS WIRELESS  
MULTI-CHANNEL MOUSE  
Introduction  
Congratulations on your purchase of a Targus Wireless Multi-  
Channel Mouse. This ergonomically designed mouse uses  
leading-edge radio frequency (RF) technology that enables you  
to use the mouse anywhere up to three feet of its receiver, in a  
360 degree range of operation. No line-of-sight between the  
mouse and its receiver is required.  
This mouse also features ten communication channels with  
automatic channel-hopping capability. This feature reduces the  
likelihood of interference from other RF devices. Using multi-  
channels make it ideal for use in areas where more than one RF  
device is used, such as a conference room or office area.  
NOTE: This mouse is a high resolution device. For maximum  
accuracy and efficiency, it is recommended that you set your  
display resolution to 1024 x 768 pixels or higher while you are  
using the mouse.  
Packaging Contents  
In addition to this user’s guide, this package contains:

System Requirements  
To use the mouse, your computer must meet the following  
hardware requirements and run one of the operating systems  
listed below.  
Hardware  
• PC with an Intel® Pentium® processor or equivalent  
• USB interface  
Operating System  
• Windows® 98/98SE/Me/2000/XP  
NOTE: The third button and the scrolling wheel only work with  
the operating systems listed above. If you use the mouse with  
a different operating system, it will lose its enhanced features  
and function as a standard, two-button mouse.  
Charging the Mouse  
This mouse comes with a non-replaceable Lithium polymer  
battery. If properly maintained, the battery will last for as long  
as you own the mouse.  
For best results, you should charge the mouse at least 14 hours  
before using it. You can do this via the supplied USB charge  
cable. To do this:  
1
Connect the cable’s USB connector into an available USB  
port on your computer  
2
Connect the other end to the mouse.  
NOTE: To continuously charge the mouse via the USB charge  
cable, your computer must be on and awake. For best results,  
turn off your computer’s power management feature while  
charging the mouse.

Low Battery Indicator Light  
When the battery charge is running low, the LED on the  
scroller wheel glows.  
NOTE: If the indicator light is glowing, it is highly  
recommended that you charge the mouse as soon as  
possible to properly maintain the battery.  
Once the indicator light starts glowing, the mouse’s internal  
controller begins monitoring the battery’s voltage level. When  
this level reaches its lowest point, depending on how often you  
use the mouse, the mouse enters power off mode. To power on  
the mouse, fully charge the battery then press the mouse’s  
connect button to resume normal operation.  
Connecting the Mouse Receiver  
To connect the mouse receiver:  
1
2

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:  
1
Press and release the link button on the receiver.

Mouse Power Management  
Powering the Mouse Off and On  
To power the mouse off, move the on/off switch to the off  
position. To turn it back on, move the switch back to the on  
position.  
Power Save Modes  
To conserve the battery, the mouse reduces its power  
consumption gradually when not in use, via power saving  
modes, as follows:  
Standby mode  
Flash mode  
When the mouse stops moving, it  
immediately enters standby mode. It  
stays in this mode for 30 seconds if  
movement isn’t detected.  
After 30 seconds of non-operation, the  
mouse enters flash mode. It stays in this  
mode for 20 minutes if movement isn’t  
detected.  
While in flash mode, the mouse’s  
optical sensor turns off and on  
intermittently to not only conserve  
battery power, but allow the user prompt  
access to the cursor if movement is  
resumed.  
Sleep mode  
After 20 minutes of non-operation, the  
mouse enters sleep mode and turns off  
the optical sensor. You must wake the  
mouse to resume normal operation from  
this mode.

Waking the Mouse To wake the mouse from sleep mode,  
press any button on the mouse to resume  
normal operation.  
Operating Hints  
For optimal performance and RF reception:  
• Turn off your computer’s power management feature before  
charging the mouse so that your computer doesn’t enter  
sleep mode, which temporarily haults the charging process.  
• 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 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 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, press any button.  
• 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.  
Things to Remember  
Batteries  
• To extend the life of your batteries, turn off the mouse while  
traveling.  
Sleep Mode  
• The mouse’s sleep mode feature activates after 20 minutes of  
non-operation. To wake the mouse from sleep mode, press  
any button.

Troubleshooting  
What do I do if the mouse does not work?  
• Make sure that the mouse is fully charged.  
Verify that your computer’s power management feature is  
turned off.  
• Check that the receiver’s USB connector is firmly attached  
to the USB port on your computer.  
• Make sure you have established a radio link between the

When I use the mouse, other wireless devices work more  
slowly or fail temporarily – what should I do?  
The mouse has ten channels and 256 identity codes per channel  
to prevent interference. However, some interference may still  
occur if there are multiple radio-based devices that operate at  
27 MHz, such as a telephone, baby monitor, or toy.  
To reduce interference, move the mouse’s receiver and the base  
unit of the affected device as far away from each other as  
possible.  
What do I do if the response time of the mouse is slow or  
the mouse intermittently stops working?  
• Increase the distance between the mouse’s receiver and the  
rest of your computer equipment.  
• Increase the distance between the mouse’s receiver and the  
base units of other wireless devices.  
• Turn off any wireless devices and their base units that are  
near the mouse’s receiver.  
• If you are using the mouse on a metal surface, move it and  
the receiver to a non-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.  
I can’t use the mouse while another RF mouse is in use –  
what should I do?
