General Comments

This Packard Bell C -- 3UP Cordless Mouse is a very good quality product let down by pathetic installation instructions.

Even though I am a very experienced PC user I followed the instructions to the wire and could not get it to do anything.

I took it back to the shop who straight away said "did you press the buttons in the right order? they forgot to put it in the instructions"

Apparently, you first have to press a small "learn button" on the base of the receiver which starts the LED flashing. You then have to press a small grey button on the bottom of the mouse to get them communicating.

I hope this helps others who are experiencing setup problems.

    This is a really excellent review. It took me 2 hours of installing/uninstalling etc. Fruitless searches in Microsoft.com support, then I found this short but excellent article, which solved the probelm in 10 seconds.
    I'll paste the article in a note to Packard Bell -maybe they'll improve!

    Thank heaven I read your explaination of the missing instructions before I trashed the thing!! I can't imagine how Packard Bell could release a product with such shoddy instructions and then not even offer a hint of support online. You saved my day!
