Range of Operation
Your IR Mouse communicates with the IR Mouse port
on your notebook, located at the bottom right-hand
corner of your Display Panel. In order for your mouse to
communicate effectively with your notebook, you will
need to keep it within the area in which the signals from
the mouse can be received by your notebook. This area
is pie-shaped, with the tip at the front of the mouse, and
the back approximately 1.5 feet from the port on the L
setting and 3 feet on the H setting (optimal settings).
This area, and the effective distance at either the L or the
H setting is subject to environment, type of use, and
other factors, and will vary. (Figure 2-12)

To Install the Batteries
Turn your IR Mouse over, release the battery compart-
ment cover by depressing the tab, remove the cover, and
set it aside. Insert the batteries in the compartment,
making sure that the “+” on the batteries corresponds
with the “+” in the compartment. Replace the cover.
(Figure 2-13)

Power Switch and Settings
The power switch is located on the bottom of the mouse.
Use your fingernail or the tip of a pen to slide it from the
off position to either the L or the H setting. (Figure 2-14)
On the L setting, your mouse can communicate with the
computer up to approximately 1.5 feet away. On the H
setting it can communicate up to approximately 3 feet
away. The H setting, however, depletes the mouse’s
batteries more quickly.
