Stealth Z-Type User Guide
1. Installation
Plug in the mouse and it should automatically download the driver. Be patient. It can take a few minutes.
If it does not work, check to be sure the driver has been loaded by going to the Windows Device Manager and look under USB devices for “USB to Serial Converter”. If it is not there, the driver can’t be found. If it is working, open the properties menu and look under “Advanced” for “LOAD VCP”. If the box is checked, then uncheck it, and save. Then unplug and re-plug the mouse.
2. General Use
The Stealth Mouse is to be used on a clean, dry, flat surface. While it will work on many surfaces, the optics is optimized for use on Formica or other hard surface with a slight roughness. The feet, or glides, are made from a specially selected plastic that will glide smoothly over hard flat surfaces with little wear even after years of use.
3. Cleaning
The Stealth Mouse mechanism should never need cleaning under normal circumstances. However, there is the possibility that dust could collect in the optical area on the underside of the mouse. If this happens, blow the dust away with clean pressurized air. Never touch the optical parts with any mechanical or chemical cleaner.
If the housing should become dirty, clean with a soft damp cloth. Do not immerse the mouse in water.
4. Buttons
The buttons are long life switches, made in Switzerland. The rated life is at least 2 million cycles. If a button stops working, the mouse will need to be sent in for repair (see below.)
The diagram above shows the position of the various buttons. These can generally be programmed by the application software.
5. Troubleshooting
If the mouse stops working check the following:
If the mouse does not work at all, unplug and re-plug to a working USB port. There will be a red or yellow light visible at the optics underneath the mouse (S3-Z serial numbers before A092312 have no light). If there is no light, either the mouse or the USB port is not working. Try to install on another computer before returning for repair.
a) Make sure that your software is set-up to work with the Stealth Z-Type mouse. The Stealth Z-Mouse will only work with applications specially designed to work with this mouse.
b) If a button does not work, try another button to make sure the mouse is working.
c) If the mouse skips when moving, try a different surface. The mouse does not work well on certain surfaces, especially polished or reflective ones. You can clean the optics with compressed air. Do not rub it with a cloth as it may scratch the lens.
d) If the buttons work, but do not act properly with your application, make sure the mouse driver software is properly installed and configured.
6. Repair
Please contact us before sending the mouse for repair. We will help you to diagnose the problem and determine if it is really necessary to return the mouse.
7. Fast motion option
To toggle joystick fast motion (S4 ONLY), press and hold button 1 and 4 while pressing button 3.
