3. Let your upper arm hang in a comfortable position, alongside your body
For your information, the average weight of an arm is around 7 kilograms.
By allowing the arm to hover i.e. not to be supported by desk top and or arm rest, the muscles around
the shoulder area have to be continuously active. This will most likely result in unnecessary muscle
tension. The weight of hand and arm on the mouse will cause unnecessary friction on the desktop and
C. The weight of the HandShoe Mouse
The HandShoe Mouse has been weight compensated to allow optimal relaxation for your muscles,
which are active when you move the mouse over the desk top.
Although we recommend keeping the weights as they are, you may adapt the weight by removing

In general, the life expectancy of such batteries is dependent upon usage. Heavy daily use will result in
shorter battery life. If you suspect that the lithium-ion rechargeable battery inside your mouse may be
drained, it has a low charge, try recharging it. If the battery does not recharge after several attempts,
it may be non operational. Should this be the case you need to replace your battery and you will
need to dispose of the old battery in accordance with the laws and regulation in your area that specify
the proper disposal of non-functioning batteries and/or electric devices. If there are no such laws or
regulations, please dispose of your battery in a waste bin for spent electronic gear.
G. Caution

kind. Do not use or charge the battery if it appeared to be leaking, discoloured, deformed, or in any
other way abnormal. Do not leave your battery discharged or un-used for extended periods of time.
When the battery is miss-used, it may explode or leak, causing burns and personal injury. If the battery

how to set the cursor speed, watch the second video on www.handshoemouse.com/faq.html.
If your cursor speed is too high, it may result in an unnecessary muscle tension to control the cursor
movement.
B. The rechargeable battery
The HandShoe Mouse is equipped with a rechargeable lithium-ion battery.
If the battery power runs low, a blue LED light will come on, visible via the scroll wheel.
We advise to regularly charge the battery and not let it run down completely.

on your computer, keyboard or display and connect it to the mouse with the USB-B plug (small).
2. PC or laptop must be switched on to charge the battery.
3. Check if the battery is being charged after a few minutes:

being charged.
4. Continue charging for approximately 1 hour.

If after connecting the USB cable to recharge, there is no signal and the cursor does not move even
after clicking the mouse buttons, the battery is probably entirely empty.
