Hints for using the
Interactive Remote Control
The Interactive Remote Control is unlike any other
mouse device you have used before, and we therefore
suggest that you take a few minutes to become accus-
tomed to the new sensation of controlling the cursor by
rocking your thumb.
Below we have included some suggestions to help you
get started. With a little practice, you will quickly
become a skilled user.
Holding the Interactive Remote Control
The best way to hold the remote control is like a pistol
grip, with your middle finger in the contoured channel
on the underside, and your index-finger poised in front
of the primary trigger button (button underneath; left
mouse key). The thumb can be pulled back to activate
any one of the other keys. You will also notice that the
Interactive Remote Control works well for both left and
right handed users.
Using the pressure-sensing mouse pad
The Interactive Remote Control’s pressure-sensing
mouse pad converts the touch of your thumb into
smooth cursor movement. To move the cursor, place
your thumb on the centre of the mouse pad and rock it
in the direction you want the cursor to go. You can move
the cursor in any direction - the Interactive Remote
Control has a full 360° control. A light touch will pro-
duce slow, precise cursor movement. More pressure
will increase the cursor speed - the harder you press,
the faster the cursor moves. When you first try the Inter-
active Remote Control we suggest that you set the
mouse speed (in the mouse control panel in Windows)
to a minimum. This will facilitate the learning process.
You can increase the sensivity as you become more
familiar with the Interactive Remote Control.
To click an item
The button underneath and the small gray key on the
Interactive Remote Control emulate those on a conven-
tional mouse. The trigger button under the front of the
Interactive Remote Control is equivalent to the left
mouse button, and is used as the primary button. The
small gray key on top of the Interactive Remote Control
is equivalent to the right mouse button (the secondary
button). Operation of these two buttons/keys are the
same as on a regular mouse.
