Why do I need the Parking Accessory? The parking accessory is an optional accessory that allows you to use your laptop on an angle. When the mouse is positioned on the parking space, it will magnetically attach to the film and not slide off. It also helps you to position your mouse between your hands, so that you can type without any obstruction. You may need to use the parking accessory if you have a laptop with a highly reflective palmrest as it will allow the mouse to work more efficiently. |

Can I take the parking accessory off my laptop and reapply it again? Yes, you can. The parking accessory has an adhesive backing that will not leave any residue on your laptop. You can take it off and reapply it as required. |

Will the Swiftpoint mouse magnet (or parking space on the Parking Accessory) damage my hard-drive? There is a low power magnet in the device that allows it to dock on to a (non-magnetic) metal plate in the Parking Accessory. This Magnet has a force of 800 Gauss at the surface, and today's Western Digital Hard Drives have a coerctivity level (magnetic sensitivity) of around 5000, meaning there is no risk.

My Swiftpoint Mouse is not working at all. If your Swiftpoint mouse is not working at all, please try the following steps in sequence: 1. Confirm the Swiftpoint Mouse has battery charge - to do this, turn the mouse over and click one of the mouse buttons. If there is battery charge, the red sensor light will start flickering. If there is no charge, please charge the mouse by docking it on the USB receiver (plugged into your computer's USB port). Your computer will need to be turned on to charge the mouse. If your mouse has battery charge or the mouse charging LED does not flash when your mouse is docked, please continue to Step 2. 2. Confirm whether there is an issue with the USB receiver - we have received a small percentage of customers reporting that their USB receivers have stopped working. We have diagnosed these receivers and found that static electricity discharges from the user have caused the receivers to become unresponsive. We have modified the electronic design of the receivers to address this issue, but customers who have purchased early versions of the Swiftpoint Mouse may find their receivers stop working. To determine whether your USB receiver has stopped working:
If your USB receiver has stopped working, please email us at support@swiftpoint.net and we will immediately courier a replacement receiver to you at our cost. If have successfully managed to re-pair the Mouse but you still have a problem, please email us at support@swiftpoint.net so that we can assist to diagnose the issue further. |

My Swiftpoint Mouse pointer is tracking intermittently. The SmartTouch Sensor is probably activated. The SmartTouch sensor ensures the mouse pointer stops moving when your finger is not detected on the finger grip. When you type, it is best to move the mouse to a position between your hands, but doing this will also move the pointer across your screen. When SmartTouch is on, you can move your mouse without any pointer movement by lifting your middle finger and then moving the mouse with your thumb. To de-activate it: 1. Press and hold down both mouse buttons. 2. After 2 seconds, the status LED will glow. 3. Release the buttons and when the status LED turns off, roll the scroll wheel. The status LED will flash once indicating SmartTouch is now off. You can switch SmartTouch on again by repeating the steps above. |

Why is the Swiftpoint mouse only for right-handed use? We decided to concentrate our efforts on bringing a right-handed Swiftpoint mouse to the market as research showed us that a majority of left-handed people use a mouse in their right-hand. However, should demand be great enough for a left-handed mouse, it is certainly something we will consider for the future. |
