3. Switching Mouse Mode
 3-1.Switching Mouse Hareware Modes (Use mode switch)
     The Serial Mouse is capable of operating either as a Microsoft Serial
     Mouse or a Mouse Systems Mouse. At the base of the Mouse you will find a
     slide switch. The switch has two possible positions, 'MS' and 'PC' When
     the switch is set to the 'MS' position the Mouse will emulate a two-buttoned
     Microsoft Mouse while setting the switch to the 'PC' position will cause
     the Mouse to emulate a three-buttoned Mouse Systems Mouse.


 3-2.Switching Mouse Hardware Modes (None mode switch)
     As mentioned earlier, the serial mouse is capable of operating either as
     a Microsoft Serial Mouse or a Mouse Systems Mouse. Which of the two modes
     the mouse will operate in is determined on the power-on initialization.
     If any one of the three buttons is depressed during power-on initializa-
     tion, the mouse will emulate Mouse Systems Mouse. While none of the
     buttons is depressed during power-on initiation the mouse will emulate
     Microsoft Mouse.

 3-3.Microsoft Mode
     When the mouse is in Microsoft mode, only the left and right buttons are
     active, while the middle button is ignored. In this mode, your mouse will
     correctly emulate a Microsoft Serial Mouse.

 3-4.Mouse Systems Mode
     If you are a user of AUTOCAD or any other software which gives enhanced
     performance with a Mouse Systems Mouse you should choose this emulation.
     A Mouse Systems Mouse operates with all three buttons.

 Note: Because Windows 95 and Windows NT supports serial 'MS' mouse mode, you
       had better switch the mouse to 'MS' mode when first install the mouse
       driver in package. After completing the installation, you can switch
       to 'PC' mouse mode when restart the computer.


4. Trouble Shooting

Symptom 1 : No mouse movement.
Solution  : - Make sure the software that you are using supports a mouse.
            - Check that mouse is plugged into serial port at the back of
              computer.

Solution  : Check the mouse cable for any breaks or sharp twists. Examine the
            cable closely where it connects to the mouse.

Symptom 3 : The cursor movement stops at a corner and no longer responds to
            the mouse movement.
Solution  : Run the mouse driver to check which mode the mouse is operating in.

Symptom 4 : Mouse movement does not produce corresponding cursor movement or
            there is a brief pause during movement.

Symptom 6 : Displayed error number -115 on screen when install mouse driver
            software.

            then run the setup again.

Symptom 7 : Detection Problems with PS/2 Pointing Devices
Solution  : If your mouse is connected to the mouse port and is not detected
            by the system, attempt the following step(s):

            1) Your mouse port might need to be enabled through the SETUP menu
               of your computer. Please check your computer documentation
               regarding the SETUP menu.

            2) If you have a mouse with both serial and mouse port adaptors,
               connect the mouse to the computer through the serial port.
               Reboot and check if the mouse is detected properly.

            3) If adaptor(s) were not included in your package, your mouse
               was designed to work on only one type of port (Serial OR PS/2).
               Refer to your package for the type of port your mouse supports.
  
            If the problem persists, please check for a possible computer
            BIOS ROM upgrade from your computer manufacturer.
  
            Some notebook systems, such as IBM Thinkpad, have both an external
            Mouse Port and an integrated Pointing Stick, which is connected to
            the Mouse Port. If your mouse is having difficulty running on the
            Mouse Port of this type of system, try using the serial port
            instead.

Solution  : Some softwares provided by other manufacturers with mouse
            functions, such as Logitech MouseWare, which may conflict with
            this mouse. Recommended strongly to remove the software installed
            previously before install this mouse software.

Symptom 9 : Problems Operating the Wheel

            scroll, verify the following:

            1) Verify that the "Browser Mouse" or "Mouse Control Panel"
               application is installed properly. If you do not find the
               "Browser Mouse" or "Mouse Control Panel" icon in the system
               tray, you need to reinstall mouse software.

            2) Some other applications with mouse scrolling function may
               conflict with this mouse function. Remove these applications
               before install this mouse software.
