B a ttery Tips · · For optimal batter y life, avoid using the mouse on dark-colored sur faces. When the batter y drops to approximately twenty percent (20%) of its full 2 3 S etting Up a nd S ynchronizing the GO 2 . 4 GHz Optica l Air Mous e a nd the Gyra tion 2 . 4 GHz R F R eceiver When installing the optical air mouse for the first time or when adding additional Gyration devices to the system, it is necessar y to synchronize the devices with the receiver. To set up and synchronize the optical air mouse and the RF receiver: 1. 2. Ensure the mouse is fully charged. Connect the RF receiver into an available USB por t and power on your computer. Your operating system should detect the new hardware device and initiate the installation procedure. Continue to follow the standard USB device installation onscreen prompts until installation is complete. Press and hold the Connect button on the receiver for two seconds, and then release it. The Connect light will blink rapidly, indicating the receiver is in "Connect Mode." Press and release the Connect button located on the bottom of the mouse handset. The Connect light on the receiver will stop blinking and remain lit. Powering On a nd Off To power on: · Press the Connect button. It will confirm it is powering on by flashing its LE D light for one second. To power of f: · Press the Connect button for seven seconds. It will immediately power of f and be unresponsive to button clicks. It will confirm it is powering of f by flashing its LED indicator three times. 3. Note: Powering of f the mouse prevents batter y drain when traveling. It is necessar y to power the unit of f when traveling on commercial airlines due to FCC regulations regarding radio emitting devices. 4. Note: Repeat steps 3 and 4 for any additional GO 2.4 GHz Optical mice, keyboards, and/or remotes that will be added into the system. 5. Connect Mode will automatically time out after one minute. After the Connect/Connect sequence is per formed, the receiver and device(s) will remain synchronized after powering down. It is only neces s a r y to per form the Connect/ Connect s equence when s etting a device up for the firs t time or when a dding a dditiona l devices to the s ys tem. 4 5 Us ing the Mous e on the Des ktop The optical air mouse provides great flexibility in how you control your computer, and its optical sensor allows for precise tracking on vir tually any sur face. However, for optimal per formance, avoid highly reflective glass or mirrored sur faces. To use on the desktop: 1. Set up and synchronize the mouse with the receiver (see S etting Up a nd S ynchronizing the GO 2 .4 GHz Optica l Air Mous e a nd the Gyra tion 2 .4 GHz R F R eceiver on page 4). 2. Remove the mouse from the charging cradle and place it on a flat sur face. The S ta tus LE D light on the receiver will light solid when communicating with the mouse handset. Use the mouse like a standard desktop mouse. For optimal batter y life, avoid using it on dark-colored sur faces. Us ing in the Air The optical air mouse has no line-of-sight requirements so it is not necessar y to point the device at the computer, receiver or monitor. 1. After you set up and synchronize the mouse with the RF receiver, hold the mouse in a comfor table, relaxed position with your index finger on the Activation Trigger and your thumb at the base of the Scroll Wheel (see illustration). 2. Press and hold the Activation Trigger with your index finger. While holding the trigger, flex your wrist up, down and sideways (in a manner similar to using a flashlight). The mouse cursor tracks the motions of your hand. Remember, it is not necessar y to point the mouse at your computer, receiver or monitor. Use your thumb to press the left/right mouse buttons or to operate the scroll wheel. 3. 3. In addition to its optical sensor, the optical air mouse uses an advanced reflective sensor that detects when the mouse is being lifted of f the desktop. To conser ve batter y life, this sensor powers on the gyroscope and shuts down the optical sensor each time the mouse is picked up from the desktop. Tip: Double-click the Activation Trigger to keep the cursor continuously active. To stop the cursor movement, click the trigger once. Tip: Move the cursor over a target and release the Activation Trigger before clicking the left or right mouse buttons. This "parks" the cursor and allows you to click more accurately. 6 7 Fine Tuning Curs or Control Since the optical air mouse uses standard Windows or Mac mouse drivers, there are no additional drivers to install. Any settings that are available to a standard desktop mouse (such as cursor tracking speeds and mouse doubleclick speeds) are also available to the GO 2.4 GHz Optical Mouse. Multiple factors will determine how you adjust the optical air mouse to suit your personal preference including screen resolution and driver version. While becoming familiar with your mouse and getting a feel for the "in air" method of cursor control, Gyration recommends adjusting your mouse driver to the following settings: · P ointer S peed ­ Average. Some new users prefer this setting to be slightly slower than average. Advanced users will increase the speed so that less wrist movement gives them more screen coverage with the cursor.
