Introduction
Congratulations on your purchase of the Belkin Optical
Mouse, a revolutionary mouse designed for today’s
sophisticated computer user. Not only will you find this
mouse resoundingly easy to use, but also incredibly
versatile. Try it on the floor,
try it on a lampshade, try it on your leg…try it just
about anywhere.
You’ll be amazed by the precision of the Optical Mouse,
moving smoother than other mice on conventional mouse
pads. No longer will you need a mouse pad to get optimal
performance, which is perfect for computer users who
don’t have a lot of space. And without a rubber ball that
picks up dirt and debris from everyday use, you won’t
have to continuously clean your Optical Mouse. This low-
maintenance device stays smooth and precise.
Other features include a scroll wheel, which eliminates the
need for a scroll bar as you move fluidly through websites
and documents. Using the Optical Mouse scroll wheel also
reduces movement for less strain on your wrist and easier
navigation through computer programs. Four-directional
scrolling increases viewing options. Scroll horizontally or
vertically with one click of the wheel. You can even browse
at multiple speeds. Browse fast or slow—you decide!
One-Touch Zoom Control gives you control of the zoom
feature provided by your Windows® system. Now you can
instantly enlarge or reduce your viewing screen.
So, enjoy and thank you for choosing Belkin!

2. Hardware Installation
Hardware Installation
Your mouse connects to either a PS/2 mouse port or a
Universal Serial Bus (USB) port. To check, examine the
back of your computer for the port designated for your
mouse. Some PCs 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 USB-PS/2 adapter from the end of the
connector before plugging the mouse into the computer.
USB Installation
a. Locate the Universal Serial Bus (USB) port on the back
of your computer.
b. Plug your mouse into the port. Check the box in which
your mouse was shipped to verify the ports supported.
c. Sometimes, when connecting the mouse into a USB
port, Windows® will detect the mouse and start the Add
New Hardware Wizard. If this does not happen, go to
step "d". If the Wizard does come up, follow the
on-screen instructions.

4. Troubleshooting
Problem #1
Q: Ican 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 preventing
your mouse from working at all. If you have more than
one driver, you must remove the excess third party
drivers. (Do not remove the Microsoft® default driver.)
If you are using a PS/2 mouse, the driver must state that it
is using a PS/2 driver. If you are using a USB mouse, the
driver must state that it is using a USB driver. Go to
“Mouse Properties” (Start, Settings, Control Panel, Mouse)
and look under the General tab. This will show you which
driver is currently recognized by Windows®. Ifthisisnot
the same as the mouse you currently have plugged in, you
must remove this driver and install the correct one. (See
Problem #2 below.)
Problem #2
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
[Alt] + [S] to go to the Start button. Next use your
[Up Arrow] to select "Settings", then use your [Right
Arrow] to select "Control Panel" and press [Enter].

4. Troubleshooting (continued)
The previous steps have taken you to the “Control
Panel” where you can gain access to your “Device
Manager”. The Device Manager shows your driver
status and information, and it will allow you to
modify their settings.
After entering the “Control Panel”, use your [Up and
Down Arrows] to select “System” and press [Enter].
After entering “System Properties,” use your [Right
Arrow] to select “Device Manager”. Press [Tab] to
bring your selection to “Computer,” and use your
[Down Arrow] until your “Mouse” is highlighted. Use
your
[Right Arrow],[Right Arrow] to expand and select
your mouse driver(s).
After you have chosen your mouse driver, you can
now modify it by removing or changing the driver.
To remove the driver you have selected, use your
[Tab] key until the “Remove” tab is selected. Press
[Enter],[Enter], this will remove the driver. Use your
[Arrow Keys] to select any other drivers and repeat
the process until
all but one driver remains. Even if it is the wrong
driver,
you can use it and change it to the mouse driver of
your choosing.
After removing or changing the mouse driver, use
your [Tab] key until “Close” is selected and press
[Enter]. You will have to reboot your computer. Use

Problem #3
Q: After installing the mouse driver and rebooting, my
mouse will not work. How do I change the mouse driver
without mouse control?
A: See Problem #2.
Problem #4
Q: Why does my external mouse not work with my laptop
computer?
A: You may have to disable the onboard mouse in order to
use an external mouse. Try looking in your CMOS or
BIOS in order to disable the onboard mouse. If you do
not have this option or do not know how to get into
your BIOS or CMOS, please follow the instructions in
your computer user’s manual. If you still need
