Using GyroRemote GyroRemote provides great flexibility in how you control your computer. GyroRemote has no line-of-sight requirements. This means it’s not necessary to point the device at the computer, receiver, or TV screen. Find a comfortable, relaxed position and move the cursor with easy wrist movements.
Powering Off GyroRemote After 3 minutes of non-use, GyroRemote enters a Sleep Mode that conserves battery life. In Sleep Mode the unit only uses battery power when a button is pushed. It is not necessary to power down the unit when it is idle unless the unit will be traveling and may encounter inadvertent button presses.
Replace battery cover. Four alkaline AAA batteries will generally provide up to six months of use in a typical presentation environment. Fine-tuning Cursor Control GyroRemote uses your standard Windows mouse driver. Any settings that are available to a standard desktop mouse are also available to GyroRemote. Multiple factors will determine how you adjust your mouse to suit your preference including screen resolution, mouse driver version and overall personal preference.
