Precautions for Battery Pack

WARNING

The battery pack is extremely delicate products. When installing or removing one, donot drop it or subject it to strong shocks. If this should happen, do not use that batterypack in the interest of safely, because there is a risk of electric shock or malfunction.

DischargeAfter you charge the battery pack, even if you store it without using it, over about 1 month it willnaturally discharge.

Service life• The battery pack is a consumption item. After you use it for a long time, its charging capacitydrops.

• Replace the battery after about 300 to 500 charge/discharge cycles.• When the battery operating time becomes extremely short, the battery has reached the endof its service life.

To extend the battery operating timeUse the BIOS setup Power menu.

Conditions under which the battery operating time becomes shorter• Using in cold or hot location

The battery operating time is influenced by the environmental temperature and the batteryoperating time can be shorter at low temperature (5°C) then at high temperature (35°C). Also,high temperatures not only lower the charging efficiency, but are also a cause of battery packdeterioration.

• When the battery charging capacity drops When the battery pack has been used for a long time, its charging capacity drops. In thiscase, replace it with a new battery pack.

Use the AC adaptor in the following cases• When using the hard disk or CD-ROM frequently• When using a LAN or a modem

Preparation and Preliminary knowledge

Loading of batteriesLoad the wireless mouse with two AAA-size alkaline batteries referring to the article “Replacingbatteries” of this manual.

H-L-OFF switchInfrared transmission power of this wirelessmouse can be switched between low and highwith the H-L-OFF switch. Set this switch to theH (High power mode) or L (Low power mode)position taking the operating environment andconditions into consideration. When this mouseis out of use, set this switch to the OFF positionfor saving battery power.

Operating methodThis wireless mouse transmits data on mouse operation to the personal computer on infraredrays. When operating the wireless mouse, point its transmitter part at the photosensor of thepersonal computer. The operating method of this wireless mouse is the same as the general PS/2 mouse.It is recommended to use this wireless mouse within a distance of 1.5 m (High power mode) or0.5 m (Low power mode) from the personal computer.

Critical PointsThe one-touch operation buttons cannot beused in the following cases.The illustration of a personal computerappearing on this page is just a reference.The outward appearance slightly differs withthe model. Before using this wireless mouse,check the personal computer for the locationof the photosensor for the wireless mouse.

Critical PointsWhen “enabled” is selected for the item of “Infrared mouse”, the external PS/2 mouse that isconnected with the extension keyboard/mouse connector is unusable. Furthermore, set theitem of “Built-in pointing device” of the “Setup of keyboard/mouse” submenu of the “Detailedmenu” to “Always enabled”.

Setup of personal computer and wireless mouse

Setup of personal computerSee Bios section to enable infrared mouse. Ensure that the setup menu is Enabled.

Identification of mouseIf multiple wireless mice are used close to each other, it is needed to identify every wirelessmouse with an individual identification code to avoid radio interference. For identify a wirelessmouse, open the lid of the battery chamber on the bottom of the mouse and set an identificationnumber with the DIP switch (refer to the table below).
