INTRODUCTION

INTRODUCTION

Welcome to the CORDLESS MOUSE product!

Concept of Cordless Mouse

A major purpose of a cordless mouse is to position the cursor, highlight text for editing functions, select commands through the use of pop-up menus, and create line art or free-hand graphics. You can use your computer with greater ease and efficiency to run your favorite applica-tion programs much faster and easier. In many cases it can act as a substiute for the key board and in some cases it does things you can't do, or can't do efficiently with typed commands or cursor keys.

By using infrared LED technology, the Cordless Mouse frees you from the hassle of having a cord strung across your desk. You no longer have to worry about the cord becoming tangled or running out of cord when extra length is needed.

The rechargeable battery system in the Cordless Mouse provides up to eight hours of use without recharging and it can be recharged in less than one hour. Just put the mouse in its stand and it will recharge by using the power supplied through your computer's serial port when your computer is on

Mouse Standard

The cordless mouse is compatible with the following two hardware/software mouse standards commonly used:

The Microsoft Serial Mouse (2-Button) The Mouse Systems (PC) Mouse (3-Button)

1 - 1

INTRODUCTION

The mouse driver supports both modes and you can select between these two hardware modes using the mode switch on the left side of the mouse. Most software can use either mode. There is however a physical difference between the two. The Microsoft standard supports the use of two buttons while the Mouse Systems Mouse supports three. Your Mouse can operate at either mode. We'll look at this subject in more detail in chapter 3.

How Software Packages Ues a Cordless Mouse

1 - 2

There are three ways in which software packages use a mouse:

1. Some programs require that you first load the mouse driver software into your computer's system memory. After you do this you can call up the program and the mouse will work. Some examples of programs like this area:

Image72, Image256 Paint software

Microsoft Word

PCTools

2) Other programs have a built-in driver and can communicate with the mouse directly. With these programs you don't need to load the mouse driver for the program to work. This kind of program usually will ask you to select a mouse type during the program's installation procedure. As we've already noted, the mouse is compatible to the two standards mentioned and either one will work. Examples of this type of programs are:

Ventura Publisher

Microsoft Excel

INTRODUCTION

Autocad

3) Many programs, especially the older versions do not directly support the use of a mouse at all. These programs are designed to use keyboard commands only. You can still use your mouse software disk. Some of the programs supported are:

DBaseIII

Wordstar

Lotus 1-2-3

As you can see, you'll be able to use your mouse with almost any pro-gram you want. Now let's go on to the next section which explains how to install your mouse hardware and software.

SETUP & INSTALLATION

SETUP & INSTALLATION

How to Install Your Cordless Mouse

In this chapter we'll cover what you need to do to get your mouse ready to use. There are two things you need to do to install your mouse or trackball:

Connect the mouse recharger

Install the software

Connecting the Hardware

In order to connect the mouse recharger to your computer you will need a minimum hardware configuration including:

An IBM PC or compatible with:

2 Floppy drives or 1 Floppy and 1 Hard disk driver

256KB of system memory

An RS-232 serial port

The mouse software will support any video display adapter up to VGA resolution.

Connect your mouse recharger to an RS-232 serial port. This port is generally located at the rear panel of your system case. Check your system manual or 1/0 card manual for information about your specific hardware. Serial ports can have either 9 or 25 pins. The mouse or track-

ball connector have 9 pins or comes with an adapter in case the serial port you want to use is the 25-pin kind.

Your computer may have more than one serial port. Serial ports are given a name to identify them. The convention is to number them as COMl, COM2, etc. You can connect the mouse to either COMl or COM2

, ................. m~C, I ....

To connect your mouse recharger follow these instructions:

1) Turn your computer OFF.

2) Locate the serial port you want to use.

3) If the port has 9 pins, plug the connector down.

4) If the port has 25 pins connect the adapter first.

5) Set the hardware mode select switch on the real side of the mouse.

SETUP & INSTALLATION

That's it. After you connect the mouse, place it beside your monitor. For the mouse make sure the surface is smooth and clean. If you have a mouse pad, it's a good idea to use it.

Installing the Software

In this section you'll install the software required for your mouse operate. The Mouse software also includes the menu maker software and files. Refer to the on-disk manual for information about these.

To keep things simple we'll assume that you are already familiar with your computer hardware and operating system basics. We'll also assume you're using MS-DOS . If you're using another operating system, you might need to refer to its instruction manual.

Basic Installation

2-6

Follow these directions to install the mouse driver on your system disk. It doesn't matter whether your system disk is a hard or floppy disk.

SETUP & INSTALLATION

II

1) Turn on your computer.

2) Make a backup of your mouse master disk and then use it to install the software, not the master disk. If you don't know how to do this check your operating system manual. Do it first, don't put it off, and you won't have cause for regret later.

3) After your computer boots up, put the Mouse disk in drive "A", switch to drive "A:" if necessary.

4) Copy the MOUSE.COM file to your system disk. For example, if you have a hard disk, at the A: prompt type:

COPY MOUSE.COM C: II This will copy the mouse driver to the root directory of your hard disk.

At this point the mouse is connected, the driver is installed on your system disk, and you're ready to test the setup and make sure everything is working.

SOFTWARE SET-UP

SOFTWARE SET-UP

Loading the Mouse or Trackball Driver

Before you can see whether the installation is successful you'll need to load the mouse driver. The basic procedure is simple:

1) At DOS prompt type:

II A:>MOUSE II 2) The following screen will appear:

I

I I Pointing Device

DRIVER for Version 8. 00

at the command line to bring up the Help screen. This option provides a short explanation of the Mouse commands and options.

Mouse software resolution

The software resolutio determines the accuracy and speed that the Mouse pointer will move across the screen. Higher resolution will cause the pointer movement to speed up. A lower resolution will slow down the pointer and cause pointer accuracy to increase.

Communication Port 1 , 2, 3 or 4

The communication port refers to the serial port on some computers. The Mouse can be configured for either COMl, COM2, COM3, or COM4. The default is COMl.

Command format: MOUSE/#(1,2,3,4)

Testing the Installation

II

3-2

On your Mouse software disk there is a program to test your mouse installation and make sure everything is working. The program is called 'TEST' . To use it let's pick up where we just left off the diskette is in drive A: and you've just installed the driver into the system. Now do as follows:

1) Type:

TEST II The TEST program is used for several mouse or trackball models.

SOFTWARE SET-UP

What If There's A Problem?

But what if everything didn't go all right during the test? Don't worry. If you encounter a problem at this point the solution should be simple. Generally any problem can be traced to a loose connection or some-thing you forgot to do. Here's a list of everything you have to do so that the mouse will work:

Make sure your computer has a functioning serial port. You must use either COMl, COM2, COM3, COM4.

Plug the mouse cable connector into the port.Use the adapter supplied if necessary. Screw the connector down.

Turn on your computer and copy the MOUSE.COM driver to the root level of your system disk.

Type MOUSE at the DOS command line. The driver-loaded screen should appear and tell you the mouse is installed on the right port.

Still Doesn't Work?

If you've been able to use the software from the Mouse disk, the disk in probably not the problem, though you can examine it with a utility pro-gram such as the Norton Disk Doctor to see if there is anything wrong.

If there is a problem with the mouse hardware you'll need to consult with your dealer to get a replacement.
