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.

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
Turn off your computer.
Plug the USB receiver into an available USB port on your
computer.
3
Turn on your computer and follow any on-screen
instructions to complete the default driver installation.
Establishing a Communications
Link
NOTE: For best results, place the mouse close to the receiver
when establishing a communications link, to avoid possible
interference from other RF 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:
1
Press and release the link button on the receiver.

The receiver’s status light blinks when the receiver is
activated.
2
Press and release the connect button, located on the bottom
of the mouse.

The mouse’s light emitter diode (LED) stops glowing when
you press the connect button and resumes glowing when the

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
mouse and its receiver. See “Establishing a Communications

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?
Reset the identification code. See “Establishing a
