Setup

1. Installing Batteries

  1. Locate the battery compartment cover on the underside of the mouse.
  2. Slide or lift the cover to open the compartment.
  3. Insert one AA battery, ensuring the positive (+) and negative (-) terminals align correctly with the indicators inside the compartment.
  4. Close the battery compartment cover securely.

2. Connecting the Receiver

  1. Locate the USB wireless receiver, usually stored within the mouse's battery compartment or packaged separately.
  2. Plug the USB receiver into an available USB port on your computer.
  3. Your computer should automatically detect and install the necessary drivers. This process may take a few moments.

3. Powering On/Off

Some wireless mice include a power switch on the underside. If present, slide the switch to the 'ON' position to activate the mouse. To conserve battery life, slide the switch to 'OFF' when the mouse is not in use for extended periods.

Operating Instructions

Basic Functions

  • Left Button: Primary click function, used for selecting items, opening files, and executing commands.
  • Right Button: Secondary click function, typically used to open context-sensitive menus.
  • Scroll Wheel: Used for scrolling through documents and web pages. Pressing the scroll wheel often acts as a middle click button, which can open links in new tabs or enable auto-scrolling.

Additional Buttons

The MSI StarMouse SW-103 features four buttons. Beyond the standard left, right, and scroll wheel (which also functions as a button), there is an additional button. This button's function may vary depending on the operating system or specific software, but it is commonly used for tasks such as DPI switching or forward/back navigation in web browsers.

Maintenance

Cleaning

To maintain optimal performance, keep your mouse clean. Use a soft, lint-free cloth slightly dampened with water or a mild cleaning solution to wipe the exterior. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials. Do not allow liquids to enter the mouse.

Battery Replacement

When the mouse's performance degrades or it stops responding, it may be time to replace the battery. Follow the battery installation steps outlined in the 'Setup' section to replace the AA battery.

Troubleshooting

ProblemSolution
Mouse not responding
  • Ensure the battery is correctly installed and charged. Replace if necessary.
  • Check if the mouse's power switch (if present) is in the 'ON' position.
  • Verify the USB receiver is securely plugged into a working USB port. Try a different USB port.
  • Restart your computer.
Cursor erratic or jumps
  • Clean the mouse's laser sensor on the underside.
  • Ensure you are using the mouse on a suitable surface. Laser mice may not track well on glass or highly reflective surfaces.
  • Move the mouse closer to the USB receiver to reduce interference.
Poor wireless range
  • Ensure there are no large metal objects or other wireless devices causing interference between the mouse and the receiver.
  • Plug the USB receiver into a front USB port or use a USB extension cable to bring it closer to the mouse.
