Tracer About Tracer™ Thank you for purchasing Tracer™, a whole new kind of mouse you control by moving your head. Tracer uses GyroPoint Technology™, based on a solid-state sensor that detects your natural head motions to precisely control the cursor on the screen! Because its patented micro-gyroscope technology is remarkably precise — down to individual pixel resolution — anything that can be done with a mouse, you can do with Tracer. Follow this guide to easily install and use the Tracer.
Tracer Installing Tracer Installing Tracer is quick and simple. Please refer to the illustration on the preceding page: 1. Make sure you have a Microsoft, Logitech or compatible mouse driver installed on your computer. Refer to your operating system's documentation for details about driver verification and installation. 2. Plug the AC adapter into a power outlet and insert power plug into the back of the receiver. Note - The AC adapter is required to charge the NiMH battery in the transmitter.
Tracer The LED indicates the activity of the transmitter. If the LED is lit, the transmitter is on. If the LED is blinking and/or dim, the transmitter battery needs to be recharged soon. If the LED is dark, the transmitter is either in "sleep" mode, or the battery is dead. Press any button to wake up the transmitter. If the LED remains dark, return the transmitter to the receiver cradle, attach the AC adapter, and allow to recharge for more than 14 hours before using again.
Tracer The Visor Refer to the picture above while following the instructions below. The Brim of the Visor contains a gyroscope, a device that senses the motion of your head and converts that to motion of the cursor on the screen. To properly sense the motion of your head, the visor must be worn with the brim at the front, and the gyroscope in front of your forehead. The Data Cable has a modular plug at one end that is connected to the transmitter during use.
Tracer For Desktop Use 1. Place the transmitter on a flat surface or mouse pad. 2. Move the transmitter around on the surface as you would a normal computer mouse. The transmitter will automatically sense the motion of the mouse ball and allow it to control the cursor. It may take a few seconds to switch control from the visor to the ball. (Even if the visor is not plugged in, it defaults to "hands-free" mode.) 3.
Tracer 2. Peel the adhesive from the back of the neoprene pad and apply the pad to the boss where it will make contact with the frame. This helps prevent the holster from slipping, and from marring the frame. 3. Align the holster with the pad on the chosen strut. Run the strap behind the strut and back through the loop. Pull tight and close on itself, as shown on the right above.The strap can be trimmed to length with scissors.
Tracer Installing or Removing the Batteries Refer to the figure while following the directions below: 1. From the top of the mouse, slide the battery cover open by pushing firmly with your thumbs as shown in 1, above. 2. Remove the existing battery if necessary. Connect the replacement battery to the mouse. The plug is designed to fit in one way only: carefully align the tabs on the battery plug with the slots on the transmitter socket.
Tracer Resetting the Tracer Transmitter Sometimes, if the Tracer behaves erratically, it will be necessary to reset the mouse. Follow the steps below to reset the handet: 1. Open the battery door as described in "Installing and Removing the Battery", and unplug your battery. 2. Wait for 60 seconds. 3. Plug the battery back in and close the battery compartment. 4. Set Tracer in its Receiver Cradle for 5 seconds, until the LED on the transmitter blinks at least once.
