My cursor is drifting when using Air Mouse Voice in the air. How can I fix this?

The ‘in air’ operation of your Air Mouse Voice was calibrated during manufacture. If you find that your cursor is drifting, you can easily recalibrate it following these simple steps:

  1. Power off Air Mouse Voice (ON/OFF switch on underside)
  2. Holding the Trigger Button (underside of mouse), power the mouse back on.
  3. Now, set Air Mouse Voice down on a flat surface.
  4. After 5-10 seconds, the Air Mouse LED will blink 4 times, indicating a successful recalibration.

Do I need Bluetooth 4.0 LE to use Air Mouse Voice?

Yes. If you’re using an older system that offers Bluetooth, but not necessarily Bluetooth 4.0 Low Energy, connectivity you may need to purchase an after-market Bluetooth 4 Low Energy receiver dongle to connect to Air Mouse Voice.

Do I need a 64-bit version of Windows or OS X to use Air Mouse Voice?

Yes, to access the presentation effects, assignable button profiles and voice commands.  You can still use Air Mouse Voice on older systems using 32-bit operating systems, but only as a two button desktop or handheld mouse. To re-install the older version of MotionTools, version 2.2

How do I install my Air Mouse Voice?

Installing the Air Mouse Voice is easy. Just follow the instructions in the Quick Start Guide shipped with your mouse:

  1. Confirm that your system is running a 64-bit version of Windows or OS X and that it supports Bluetooth 4.0 LE connectivity.
  2. Install your mouse batteries (with directions matching those in the battery bay) and turn ON the mouse using the ON/OFF switch on the underside.
  3. Connect Air Mouse Voice to your PC or Mac using the computer’s Bluetooth connection wizard. Press the Bluetooth ‘connect’ button on the mouse, then pair it in the computer’s Bluetooth connection window. At this point, your Air Mouse Voice should be functioning properly as a two-button mouse.

The cursor drifts off the screen.

Generally speaking you should not have problems with the cursor drifting since the mouse was calibrated prior to shipping. Turn the mouse off then on, to reset the device. Double click the Gyro activation button (this will keep the gyro on).
Set the mouse on a steady surface (table top). Since this is a mouse you will have to set it on its side or with the front of the mouse hanging over the edge, otherwise the desktop sensor will automatically activate and stop the Gyro function.
The cursor will start to drift but should stop within 7 to 10 seconds as the Gyro re calibrates.

My wireless network is causing interference. Can this be corrected?

The Gyration 2.4GHz product uses a technique called interference avoidance so it will automatically channel away from wireless networks, Bluetooth devices etc. The problem with network interference generally is caused by the wireless router or access point being set up to broadcast over the entire 2.4GHz band. There should be set up options in the router or access point to set the broadcast bandwidth to something other than all 800 channels available in the 2.4GHz band. Once the SSID is changed the problem should go away (preferred non-overlapping channels are 1, 6, and 11).
