Introduction
ABOUT YOUR MOUSE
1.1 An Introduction to your new Belkin
MiniScroller™ Mouse
The Belkin MiniScroller™ Mouse offers you ease of use on the
Internet, eliminating the need for scroll bars. You can scroll
smoothly through your documents or Web Pages, browsing
them more quickly and more efficiently. Imagine, with the
simple movement of the scroll wheel, you can glide
effortlessly through Web Pages and long documents, without
having to remove your pointer from the document itself.
Also, by eliminating this simple task, you can add to the
lifetime of your mouse by reducing natural wear and tear.
Not to mention the reduced tension on your wrist from
excessive, repetitive movements. Internet surfing couldn't
be easier!
Once the software has been loaded onto your computer, the
center button of your mouse (the scroll wheel) can be
programmed to perform the same tasks as:
"Left Button Double Click"
"F1" through "F12"
"Enter" Key
"Page Up" Key
"Page Down" Key
"Home" Key
"End" Key
These can be used in place of your scrolling options.

2. Hardware Installation
2.1 Hardware Installation
Your mouse connects to either a PS/2 mouse port
or a
Universal Serial Bus (USB) port . To check, look at the
back of your computer for the port that is designated for your
mouse. Some PCs will have the word MOUSE marked next to
the PS/2 connector. If you are still unsure, please refer to your
hardware manual.
For USB mouse port installation, simply remove the PS/2-USB
adapter from the end of the connector before plugging the
mouse into the computer.
PS/2 Installation
a. Make sure that the computer is turned off.
b. Locate the PS/2 mouse port on the back of your computer.
c. Plug your mouse into the appropriate port suggested
above. Check the box in which your mouse was shipped to
verify the ports supported.
d. Turn your computer on. At this point, your mouse will work
with the built-in Microsoft® Operating System. To use the
extra features of your middle button, you must install the
included software.

3. Troubleshooting
Q: When installing the software, which driver should I
choose? The PS/2 Mouse on COM1 or Serial Mouse
on COM2?
A: If you are using a PS/2 mouse (refer to section 1.2) then
the driver must state that it is using a PS/2 driver. If you
are using a Serial mouse (refer to section 1.2) then the
driver must state that it is using a Serial driver on COM1
or COM2.
Q: I can get into Windows® or into "Safe Mode" but I
cannot use the mouse.
A: If you have more than one driver, this could be causing
your computer to boot in safe mode or not allow your
mouse to work at all. If you are using a PS/2 mouse
then the driver must state that it is using a PS/2 driver.
If you are using a Serial mouse then the driver must
state that it is using a Serial driver on COM1 or COM2.
If you have a Serial Mouse and you are not sure whether
you are using COM1 or COM2 then try moving the
mouse to another serial port on the back of your
computer, (most computers have two, if you have
only one, it will more than likely be COM1). If you
have more than one driver, you must remove the
excess drivers.
Q: If I have more than one mouse driver how do I
remove the driver without the mouse control? How
do I boot into normal Windows® mode?
A: Use your "Windows®"Key at the bottom left hand
corner of your keyboard if you have one; if not, press

key until the "Remove" tab is selected. Then press
"Enter". This will remove the driver. Use your "Arrow" Key
to select any other drivers and repeat the process until all
but one driver remains. Even if it is the wrong driver you

The next options will vary from computer to computer
because there are many types of Windows® 95/98 OS
versions. The wording or options will be a little different
but should be somewhat the same.
Windows® will then continue to ask questions and help
guide you through the changes. Use your "Arrow" Keys,
"Enter", and "Tab" keys to continue through the process.
Windows® may or may not start searching for Plug-and-
Play devices right away and it may or may not find
anything new. If it does not find anything new it will ask
you another line of questions and if it does find something
new choose something similar to "This Device is not in the
list".

a new device or will ask if you want to select a driver from
a list. You will want to choose a device or driver from a
list. Use your "Arrow", "Tab", and "Enter" keys to
navigate and finish until the end of questioning. After
finishing, Windows® may or may not ask you to reboot
your computer. Yes, you will want to restart your
computer. If it does not ask you to restart your computer
you will have to close "System Properties". Use the "Tab"
key until "Close" is selected and then press "Enter". Then

not have this option or do not know how to get into
your BIOS or CMOS, please follow the instructions in

4. How to use your mouse
Get to know all of the options available to you
When it comes to programming your middle button (the scroll
wheel), it couldn't be any easier. On the bottom right hand corner
of your screen, you will find a yellow box with an orange triangle
in it. Click on this, then click "Open".
Starting with the Universal Scroll section, you will be allowed to
choose and restrict the direction your mouse can scroll. "X-Scroll"
and "Y-Scroll" are already selected for you. This allows you
to scroll left/right and up/down respectively. Clicking off the
"X-Scroll" will make it so that you can scroll only up and down
while clicking off the "Y-Scroll" will make it so that you can only
scroll left and right. Clicking off both of them will disable the
scrolling features of the wheel.
The "Direction Reverse" field will reverse the direction that you
scroll. By clicking it, if you depressed the wheel and moved your
mouse to the left, you would scroll to the right.
You are also able to choose between scrolling by lines or by
pages. Choosing to scroll by page is usually recommended for
larger documents that need to be browsed quickly.
Speed will determine how quickly your screen will move when
you activate the "Auto Browse" feature.
"Auto Browsing" allows you to scroll automatically by clicking the
wheel once. This will change the look of the pointer to a dot with
four arrows pointing from it. Move the mouse in the direction that
you wish to browse and the page will scroll in that direction.
The further away you move from your original point, the faster
the scrolling.

4. How to use your mouse (continued)
From here, you can set how many lines per second you would like
the browser to move. The higher the setting, the faster the
scrolling action.
"Zoom In" is measured by factors. The higher the factor, the
farther in the zoom. The "Size" indicates how large of a window
you have to view with.
Your scroll wheel can be used for features other than scrolling.
You can set it to "Left Button Double Click", "F1" through "F12",
"Enter" Key, "Page Up" Key, "Page Down" Key, "Home" Key,
"End" Key.
To activate the settings that you chose, select "Apply".
To keep your setting(s), select "OK".
To keep your settings as they were before you opened the
settings window, select "Cancel".
Care for Your Mouse
Maintenance of your MiniScroller™ Mouse is important. It is
designed to provide years of trouble-free service. A self-cleaning
ball cage helps prevent dust and lint from building up around
the ball. However, if the pointer should skip or move abnormally
on screen, we recommend you clean your mouse manually.
a. First, turn the retainer ring counter clockwise to remove
the ball
b. Wipe the ball with a clean lint-free cloth
c. Blow into the ball cage to dislodge any dust and lint
If there is build-up on the rubber rollers inside the ball cage,
clean using a cotton swab, lightly soaked with isopropyl alcohol
to remove any debris.
