Operating Instructions

Button Functions

The zelotes F14 mouse features 7 distinct buttons, each with specific functions:

• Left Click: Primary action button.
• Right Click: Secondary action button, typically for context menus.
• Middle Click (Scroll Wheel): Activates middle-click functions, such as opening links in new tabs.
• Forward Button (Go Ahead / Page Up): Navigates forward in web browsers or file explorers.
• Backward Button (Draw Back / Page Down): Navigates backward in web browsers or file explorers.
• DPI Loop Button: Adjusts mouse sensitivity (DPI) through preset levels.
• Fire Key (Three-shoot): Functions as a double-click for rapid input.

DPI Adjustment

Press the DPI Speed Adjust button (labeled 6) to cycle through the available DPI settings: 600, 1000, 1600, and 2400 DPI. This allows you to quickly change cursor speed to suit different tasks or gaming scenarios.

Polling Rate Adjustment

The mouse supports polling rates of 250Hz and 500Hz. Use the 250Hz/500Hz Rate of Return button (labeled 8) to switch between these rates. A higher polling rate provides more responsive tracking.

LED Backlight Control

The power switch on the bottom of the mouse (labeled 9) has three positions: 'OFF', 'ON', and 'Light'. Selecting 'Light' will activate the blue LED backlight on the mouse, providing visual flair. Selecting 'ON' will operate the mouse without the LED backlight, conserving battery life.

Power Saving Features

The zelotes F14 mouse incorporates advanced power-saving technology to extend battery life. It features three layers of power-saving functionality:

• Dormancy Stage 1: After eight minutes of inactivity, the mouse will enter a dormancy stage.
• Deep Dormancy Stage: After half an hour of inactivity, the mouse will enter a deep dormancy stage, significantly reducing power consumption to approximately 0.0005mA. This contributes to an extended standby time of over 36 months.

This intelligent power management ensures that your mouse remains operational for extended periods without frequent battery changes.

Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your zelotes F14 mouse, follow these simple maintenance guidelines:

• Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the surface of the mouse. For stubborn dirt, a slightly damp cloth can be used, but ensure no moisture enters the internal components.
• Sensor Care: Keep the optical sensor on the underside of the mouse clean and free from dust or debris to maintain accurate tracking.
• Storage: When not in use for extended periods, store the mouse in a dry, cool place. Consider removing the batteries if storing for several months.
• Foot Pads: Ensure the non-slip mats (labeled 12) are clean and free from obstructions for smooth gliding. Remove any protective film from the foot pads before initial use.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your zelotes F14 mouse, please refer to the following common solutions:

• No Functionality:
  • Verify that batteries are installed correctly, observing the positive and negative marks inside the battery compartment.
  • Try plugging the USB receiver into a different USB port on your computer.
  • Ensure the power switch at the bottom of the mouse is set to 'ON' or 'Light' mode.
  • Restart your computer and try connecting the mouse again.
• Intermittent Connection or Lag:
  • Ensure the mouse is within the effective operating range (up to 15m) of the USB receiver.
  • Minimize interference from other 2.4GHz wireless devices.
  • Check battery levels and replace if low.
• Tracking Issues:
  • Clean the optical sensor on the underside of the mouse.
  • Use the mouse on a suitable surface; avoid highly reflective or transparent surfaces.
  • Adjust the DPI setting using the DPI button to see if a different sensitivity improves tracking.
