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

4. Troubleshooting (continued)  
your [Windows® Key] at the bottom left-hand corner  
of your keyboard,  
if you have one; if not, press {[Alt] + [S]}. Use your  
[Up Arrow] to select “Shut Down” and use your  
[Enter] key. Use your [Arrow Key] to select “Restart”  
and press [Enter].  
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  
clarification, call your computer’s technical support  
team or dealer.
