SAITEK OBSIDIAN WIRELESS RECHARGEABLE MOUSE
The Saitek Obsidian Wireless Rechargeable mouse uses a power management system and
interchangeable rechargeable batteries to prevent downtime. The mouse cradle receives its power
through a USB connection to your PC or Mac and has a recharge station to charge the battery
pack not being used. The cradle also includes a USB port to power the wireless receiver and keep
it secure.
The Saitek Obsidian mouse features an innovative touch sensitive scroll area which replaces the
traditional mouse mechanical scroll wheel. Resting your finger on the scroll area, simply move it
away from you for upward scrolling and towards you for downward scrolling. Tap and hold the
scroll area to activate the central button.
There are also two additional front and back buttons on each side of the Obsidian mouse. The front
button activates internet next page, and the back button previous page when using a web browser
such as Internet Explorer.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Some experts believe that using any mouse or trackball may cause serious injury to hands,
wrists, arms, neck, or back. If you feel pain, numbness, or weakness in these areas, please
consult a qualified health professional immediately.
To reduce the risk of injury, please follow these precautions:
•
Take frequent breaks, get up and walk around several times every hour.
•
Vary your tasks throughout the day.
•
Keep your shoulders relaxed with your elbows at your side. Position your keyboard and
mouse so you do not have to reach.
•
Adjust your chair and keyboard so your upper arms and wrists are straight.
•
Avoid resting your wrists on sharp edges.
System Compatibility
PC running Windows 2000/XP/XP64/Mac OS X
Getting Started
1. Remove the protective film from the mouse battery contacts and from the power contacts
on the recharge station. Plug the cradle's USB cable into one of your computer's free USB
ports. Your computer should recognise the cradle. To recharge one of the battery packs,
place it contact side down onto the circular recharge station. The LEDs around the base of
the tray should light up red to show that the battery pack is recharging.
