Notes
• The optical mouse distinguishes movement by reflecting the red light from its
base off surfaces and detecting shadows with an optical sensor.
The optical mouse may not operate correctly on the following surfaces:
- Transparent surfaces (such as glass)
- Surfaces that reflect light (such as glossy plastics or mirrors)
- Surfaces with a repetitive pattern, such as screening (like those used for
printing photos in magazines and newspapers)
- Surfaces that are striped or have another distinct, high-contrast pattern
If the mouse pointer does not move smoothly across the screen, make sure
you are not using the mouse on one of the surfaces listed above.
• The soles on the base of the mouse are made with a low-friction fluoroplastic,
PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene), but depending on the type of desk or mouse
pad, the smoothness of movement may vary.
