Getting started
- Plug your Roller Mouse Free2 into your computer’s USS port. Allow your computer a moment to automatically install it. Your computer may indicate that it has found a new device and is installing it. This process usually takes 10 to 30 seconds.
- Place the keyboard on top of your Roller Mouse Free2. The keyboard’s front edge should be parallel to the roller bar. Align the scroll wheel with the center of the alphabetical section of your keyboard. [On most keyboards, this will be between the G’ and the ‘H.J
- Take a moment to evaluate the height and angle of your keyboard and find the arrangement that’s most comfortable for you. The flatter your wrists, the better for your body. If you find the keyboard is too low, simply add height to your key board by inserting the keyboard risers [for help, see page 8)
- We recommend that you use the integrated wrist rest, as it is ergonomically designed to help keep your hands, wrists and forearms flat. Simply snap it onto the front edge of your Roller Mouse Free2.
Adjust your keyboard
To achieve the optimal and most ergonomic working posi tion with your hands
and wrists as flat as possible, you may need to adjust the height of your
keyboard. We’ve developed keyboard risers that can help you achieve the right
height
and angle, regardless of your keyboard type. 
Use riser position A if you have a
keyboard with numeric keypad. If you have a compact keyboard (without a
numeric keypad]. use the alternative riser position B located towards the
center of your Roller Mouse Free2 for a better fit To raise the front edge of
your keyboard 5 mm, mount the short risers directly onto the back of your
Roller Mouse Free2. If you want to raise the front edge of your keyboard even
higher, simply mount the long risers on top of the short risers. If you’d
rather a flat, yet raised keyboard simply flip open the small leg on the back
of each long riser of your Roller Mouse Free2 for a better fit.
You might want to try out a number of combinations to find the most
comfortable position for you. Adjust the click response of the rollerbar
You can adjust the amount of pressure required to perform a mouse click. Use
the click-force tension slider located under your Roller Mouse Free2. Simply
slide it until you find the tension that works best for you.
Some find it easier to start with high roller bar tension to avoid accidental
clicking while typing. Once familiar with your Roller Mouse Free2, you may
find it faster with a softer click lie. lower roller click force tension).
Quick and easy cursor speed selection
Use the triangular cursor speed button, located between your copy and paste
buttons, to select your cursor speed and precision. There are five speed
selections to choose from ranging 800 dpi to 1600 dpi. The string of five
lights over the button indicates the current cursor speed.
You may want to start with a lower cursor speed until you get used to your
Roller Mouse Free2.
| speed | precision (dpi) |
|---|---|
| 1 | 800 |
| 2 | 1000 |
| 3 | 1200 |
End detection helps cursor reach everywhere
If you find you have moved the roller bar all the way to the left or right,
but you’d like to continue moving your cursor, don’t worry. Simply force the
roller bar slightly further in your intended direction until you hear a gentle
click. This activates the end detection and the cursor moves to the end of
the screen. Release the roller bar when the cursor is where you want it.
If you find your cursor is too often out of the roller bar’s range, it may be
that your selected cursor speed is too low for the way you work. Simply make
the necessary adjustments referred to on the previous page.

Ergonomic tips
What’s best for your body?
-
Place your RollerMouse Free2 and keyboard a bit away from you so your forearms can rest evenly on the table. Keep your keyboard low and avoid having your wrists bent upwards. Try not to rest your weight only on your wrists. Use
your wrist rest to help keep your wrists, hands and forearms flat and aligned.
-
Discover new ways to work. Use both hands and all fingers to distribute movement and create more variation. Try pointing with one hand and clicking with the other.
-
With your Roller Mouse Free2 correctly placed in front you, it is possible for your hands, wrists and forearms to lie flat and relaxed. Your elbows will then naturally fall closer to your body, which helps your shoulders to relax as well. A centered body position is more comfortable, thus safer for your body, and you can work more efficiently. That is why Roller Mouse Free2 offers a better way to work.
