United States radio and TV interference regulations

This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules.  Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.

The Microsoft hardware device(s) that accompanies this software can radiate radio frequency (RF) energy.  If not installed and used in strict accordance with the instructions given in the printed documentation and Online User's Guide, the device may cause harmful interference with other radio-operated devices (for example AM/FM radios, televisions, baby monitors, cordless phones, etc.) Any cable that is connected to the device must be a shielded cable that is properly grounded.  There is, however, no guarantee that RF interference will not occur in a particular installation.

Your Microsoft hardware device has been tested, and it complies with the limits for a Class B computing device in accordance with the specifications in Part 15 of the U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) rules.  These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful RF interference in a residential installation.

To determine if your hardware device is causing interference to other radio-communication devices, disconnect the device from your computer.  If the interference stops, it was probably caused by the device.  If the interference continues after you disconnect the hardware device, turn the computer off and then on again.  If the interference stopped when the computer was off, check to see if one of the input/output (I/O) devices or one of the computer's internal accessory boards is causing the problem.  Disconnect the I/O devices one at a time and see if the interference stops.

If this hardware device does cause interference, try the following measures to correct it:

•	Relocate the antenna of the other radio communications device (for example AM/FM Radios, televisions, baby monitors, cordless phones, etc) until the interference stops.

•	Move the hardware device farther away from the radio or TV, or move it to one side or the other of the radio or TV.

•	Plug the computer into a different power outlet so that the hardware device and radio or TV are on different circuits controlled by different circuit breakers or fuses.

•	If necessary, ask your computer dealer or an experienced radio-TV technician for more suggestions.  You may find helpful information in the booklet "The Interference Handbook" (1995), published by the FCC.  The booklet is available from the Compliance and Information Bureau of the FCC (1-888-CALL FCC) and on their website at http://www.fcc.gov/cib/.

IMPORTANT [image] READ CAREFULLY:  This Microsoft End-User License Agreement ("EULA") is a legal agreement between you (either an individual or a single entity) and Microsoft Corporation for the software portion of this Hardware Device, which includes the accompanying computer software, and may include associated media, printed materials and any "online" or electronic documentation ("SOFTWARE").  By installing, copying or otherwise using the SOFTWARE, you agree to be bound by the terms of this EULA.  If you do not agree to the terms of this EULA, do not install or use the SOFTWARE; you may, however, return the SOFTWARE and accompanying Microsoft Hardware Device to your place of purchase for a full refund.

Software Product License

The SOFTWARE is protected by copyright laws and international copyright treaties, as well as other intellectual property laws and treaties.  The SOFTWARE is licensed, not sold.

NOTE  The terms of a printed, paper EULA which may accompany the SOFTWARE and accompanying Microsoft Hardware Device supersede the terms of any on-screen EULA found within the SOFTWARE.

1	GRANT OF LICENSE.  This EULA grants you the following rights:

•	Software.  You may install and use one copy of the SOFTWARE on a single computer to which the enclosed Hardware Device is attached.

•	Storage/Network Use.  You may also store or install a copy of the SOFTWARE on a storage device, such as a network server, used only to install or run the SOFTWARE on your other computers over an internal network; however, you must acquire and dedicate a license for each separate computer on which the SOFTWARE is installed or run from the storage device, and each such computer must use the enclosed Hardware Device in conjunction with the SOFTWARE.  A license for the SOFTWARE may not be shared or used concurrently on different computers.

•	Multiple Hardware Devices.  If you purchased a multiple pack of the Hardware Device, you may make one (1) copy of the SOFTWARE for each Hardware Device you purchased in the package, and you may use each copy in the manner specified above.

2	DESCRIPTION OF OTHER RIGHTS AND LIMITATIONS.

•	Limitations on Reverse Engineering, Decompilation and Disassembly.  You may not reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble the SOFTWARE, except and only to the extent that such activity is expressly permitted by applicable law notwithstanding this limitation.

•	Separation of Components.  The SOFTWARE is licensed as a single product.  Its component parts may not be separated for use on more than one computer.

•	Rental.  You may not rent or lease or lend the SOFTWARE.

•	Software Transfer.  You may permanently transfer all of your rights under this EULA, provided you retain no copies, you transfer all of the SOFTWARE (including all component parts, the media and printed materials, any upgrades, this EULA and, if applicable, the Certificate of Authenticity) along with the accompanying Hardware Device, and the recipient agrees to the terms of this EULA.

Except for any refund elected by Microsoft, you are not entitled to any damages, including but not limited to consequential and incidental damages, even if a remedy fails of its essential purpose.

Troubleshooting: My mouse or trackball is working inconsistently (and I have an internal modem)
My mouse or trackball is working inconsistently (and I have an internal modem)

Your mouse or trackball may be conflicting with your internal modem or another internal device on your computer.  This means that the serial port your pointing device is connected to may be conflicting with the serial port that the internal modem is connected to.  If connected to the same serial port as your internal modem, your pointing device won't work when the modem is active.

If this is the case, try to:

•	Connect your pointing device to a different serial port on your computer.

•	Reconfigure your modem so that it uses a different serial port address or a different IRQ.

The pointer doesn't move smoothly on the screen

Try cleaning your pointing device to restore optimum performance.

If you have the IntelliMouse Explorer, IntelliMouse Optical, or IntelliMouse with the IntelliEye optical sensor, and the LED port on the bottom of the device is dirty, then the light beam cannot work properly.  When the IntelliEye optical sensor is obstructed, your device may not work correctly.  See Clean your mouse to clean the IntelliEye optical sensor.

If you have a device with a ball and the inside is dirty, the ball and rollers inside can't operate smoothly, causing your pointer to jump around on the screen.  See Clean your mouse or Clean your trackball to clean your device.

Note

The IntelliEye optical sensor works best on surfaces with texture, for example, white paper, laminated desktops, wood, and synthetic wood.  Glass or shiny surfaces, for example, mirrors or glossy white paper, may prevent the IntelliEye optical sensor from working correctly.  In these instances, try a mouse pad, piece of paper, or other textured surface.
