Using the Ultra Mouse on the Desktop
The Ultra Mouse provides
great flexibility in how you
control your computer, and
its optical sensor allows for
precise tracking on virtually
any surface. However for
optimal performance, avoid
highly reflective glass or
mirrored surfaces. To use on the desktop:
1. Set up and synchronize the mouse with the receiver (see
“Setting Up and Synchronizing the Ultra Mouse and the
Gyration RF Receiver” on page 4).
2. Remove the mouse from the charging cradle and place it
on a flat surface. The LED light on the receiver base will
flicker rapidly when communicating with the mouse hand-
set.
3. Use the mouse like a standard desktop mouse. For opti-
mal battery life, avoid using it on dark-colored surfaces.
In addition to its optical sensor, the Ultra Mouse uses an
advanced reflective sensor that detects when the mouse is
being lifted off the desktop. To conserve battery life, this sen-
sor powers on the gyroscope and shuts down the optical sen-
sor each time the mouse is picked up from the desktop.
Using the Ultra Mouse in the Air
The Ultra mouse has no line-
of-sight requirements so it is
not necessary to point the
device at the computer,
receiver, or monitor. Just
find a comfortable, relaxed
position and move the cursor
with easy wrist movements.
