To change the orientation of your pointing device
You can define a preferred holding position for your pointing
device by resetting its orientation. This is especially useful if
you are using a thumb-operated trackball, or if you hold your
mouse in a different position, for example if your use your mouse

your pointing device recognizes as up, thereby ensuring that the
movements of the pointer appropriately correspond to the
movements of your mouse or trackball.

Cursor Acceleration
Acceleration determines the speed and distance the pointer moves
on your computer monitor in relation to how quickly you move your
pointing device. Adjusting the acceleration allows you to add
precision and control to the movements of the pointer.
Acceleration choices are off, low, medium, and high. Higher
acceleration causes the pointer to travel further when you move
your pointing device more quickly.

Cursor Speed
Cursor speed determines the speed and distance the pointer moves
across your computer monitor as you move your pointing device.
Setting speed in the slow range causes the pointer to move a
short distance on the screen in relation to how far you move your
pointing device. For greater precision, set cursor speed in the
low to medium range.
{ewc P!,JI(`lmouse.hlp>proc4',`cw_adjusting_device_speed_jt')}
How To ...


Cursor Trails
When the Cursor Trails option is enabled, a trail is left behind
the pointer as it moves across your computer screen. You can
customize trail length by dragging the Trail Length slider.
Cursor Trails make it easier for you to locate the pointer on LCD
screens. 
{ewc P!,JI(`lmouse.hlp>proc4',`cw_using_pointer_trails_jt')} How
To ...


Smart Move
When Smart Move is enabled, the pointer automatically moves to
the default command button in standard Windows dialog boxes. This
feature saves you from having to manually move the pointer to the
appropriate command button every time you open a dialog box. For
example, the next time you open the Mouse Properties, the pointer
will move to the OK button. In most cases "OK" is the default
command button.

Double-Click Timing
Double-Click Timing sets the speed at which your computer
registers a double-click. Adjust Double-Click Timing to change
the threshold at which a click can still be registered as part of
a double-click. Setting Double-Click Timing in the slow range
allows for more time to elapse between each click of a
double-click. Setting Double-Click Timing in the fast range means
that each consecutive click must occur very quickly in order to
be registered as a double-click. In most cases, setting
Double-Click Timing in the medium range works best.

Auto-detection
MouseWare lets you have more than one Logitech pointing device
attached to your computer at one time. MouseWare automatically
detects the pointing devices attached to your computer and lists
them in the drop-down list in the Device Information section of
the Devices page. To use a different pointing device that is
attached to your computer, select the desired device from the
drop-down list. Each time you switch to a different device,
MouseWare recalls the settings last saved for the selected device
and updates the Mouse Properties to reflect these settings.
Similarly, every time you connect a new pointing device to your
computer, MouseWare automatically recalls any settings previously
set for the device and updates the Mouse Properties.

Pointer Schemes
A Pointer scheme is a set of pointers; each pointer within the
scheme is associated with a specific Windows task. As you work in
Windows, the pointer changes shape to reflect the current task.
You can change the appearance of the pointer by choosing a
different scheme from the Pointers page of the Mouse Properties.
For example, Logitech's scheme for left-handed users consists of
pointers that point to the right rather than to the left.

double-click timing.
The device picture represents the device you are using and shows
its current button assignments. The boxes list the shortcuts and
functions that can be assigned to each button of your pointing
device.
When you first install MouseWare, basic functionality is assigned
to your pointing device buttons. The Click/Select function is
assigned to the left-hand button, the Double-Click function is
assigned to the middle button, and Context Menu/Alternate Select
function is assigned to the right-hand button. If you set up your
pointing device for left-hand use, the Click/Select function will
be assigned to the right-hand button and the Context
Menu/Alternate Select function will be assigned to left-hand
button of your pointing device. These button assignments provide
the usability features required by most users. If these button
assignments do not provide the functionality you need, you can
replace the existing assignments with any of the listed
functions. Many of the functions provide shortcuts for frequent
tasks. Assigning shortcuts to device buttons enables you to
quickly execute keyboard commands, menu commands, or macros with
a single mouse click.

To check battery power
1    Turn the Range switch to Off
2    Turn the Range switch back to either Hi or Lo. Note the
following:
          If the battery light on TrackMan Live! remains lit for
a few seconds, the batteries will be good for several more hours
of use.
          If the battery light flashes, you have only a couple of
hours of battery life remaining.
          If there is no battery light, the batteries are dead
and need to be changed immediately.
Note
     With average use, the batteries should last between four and
six months. When using TrackMan Live! at your desk or in small
rooms, set the range to Lo (6-foot distance) to conserve battery
power.

To clean your pointing device
Your Logitech pointing device is designed to provide years of
trouble-free service.  It has a self-cleaning ball-cage that
helps prevent dust and lint build-up around the ball. However, if
the screen pointer skips or moves abnormally, clean your pointing
device manually.1   Turn off the computer.
2    Turn the retainer ring counterclockwise to remove the ball
from your pointing device. Do not poke anything into the device.
3    Wipe the ball with a clean, lint-free cloth.
4    Blow carefully into the ball-cage to dislodge any dust and
lint.
5    If there is build-up on the rubber rollers inside the
ball-cage, clean them using a cotton swab moistened lightly with
isopropyl (rubbing) alcohol.
6    After cleaning, make sure the rollers inside the ball-cage
are in their channels.
7    Make sure that fluff from the swab is not left on the
rollers.
8    Replace the ball. Turn the retaining ring clockwise until it
locks.
9    Restart your computer.

A built-in trackball is a pointing device integrated into a
notebook system or keyboard.


The Drag Lock feature enables you to drag an object without
having to hold down a pointing device button. When you click a
pointing device button which is assigned to drag lock, your
application interprets the click as though you were actually
pressing and holding down the button. Simply moving your mouse or
trackball performs the drag. To end the drag, click the
appropriate button again.


To press and release a pointing device button twice in rapid
succession. Double-clicking carries out an action, such as
opening an application.


A serial port is a connection on a computer, usually COM 1 or
COM2, where you plug in the cable for a serial type pointing
device or other serial communications device, such as a modem. A
serial port connector is flat in shape and has 9 or 25 pins.
