The V550 is designed for people who attend multiple meetings in a fast moving working environment.  The dock lock included with this mouse allows the user to attach the mouse on their notebook cover when moving from one meeting location to the other.

This article discusses the installation procedure for attaching the dock lock to a notebook cover. Included are instructions for removing the dock lock from a notebook cover. Please note that  laptops with a soft rubber exterior tend to collect oils and thus might require you to follow procedures designed for maximum bonding.

For a typical dock installation without the use of the alchohol wipes:

1. Choose the location on your notebook cover to attach the dock lock. Do not choose a location on the sides or corners of the notebook, or in the center of the notebook cover where your arm typically rests while carry the notebook.  See the image below.
   
   
   
2. Make sure that the surface is clean and completely dry
   
   NOTE: The alcohol wipes are used exclusively to prepare dirty or worn notebook surfaces for maximum bonding between the dock and notebook. Before using the wipes and installing the dock, please follow the procedures for maximum bonding instead of this typical dock installation. 
    
   
   
3. Remove the tab from the dock-lock.
   
   
   
4. Press the dock-lock onto the cleaned area and keep pressing it firmly in place with your thumb for at least 30 seconds. This will ensure a proper initial fixing of the dock-lock onto the notebook cover.
   
   
5. Allow the dock-lock to set up for a minimum of 3 minutes prior to using it.
   
   

Upon completion of the 3 minute setup period, the dock lock is now ready for use.

For maximum bonding between the dock and notebook:

1. Choose the location on your notebook cover to attach the dock lock. Do not choose a location on the sides or corners of the notebook, or in the center of the notebook cover where your arm typically rests while carry the notebook.  See the image below.
   
    
2. Use an alcohol-wipe provided in the dock-lock tool kit to clean an area just slightly larger than the dock lock as shown in the image below.
   
   
   
3. Allow the cleaned area to dry for 5 + minutes.
   
   NOTE: It is important for the cleaned area to dry for 5 + minutes prior to attaching the dock lock.  If any residual alcohol remains at the time of attachment, the adhesive can be significantly weakened or even neutralized.
   
   
4. Remove the tab from the dock-lock.
   
   
   
5. Press the dock-lock onto the cleaned area and keep pressing it firmly in place with your thumb for at least one minute.  This will ensure a proper initial fixing of the dock-lock onto the notebook cover.
   
   
6. Allow the dock-lock to set up for a minimum of 6 hours prior to using it. This will ensure a proper final fixing of the dock-lock to the notebook cover.
   
    

Upon completion of the 6 hour setup period, the dock lock is now ready for use

To use your dock-lock:

• Slide the mouse onto the dock-lock as shown 
  
  
  
  NOTE: If the V550 mouse is switched ON prior to being docked, the mouse will be automatically switch OFF.
  
  
• To remove the mouse from the dock-lock, slide the mouse off of the dock-lock. The mouse will automatically return to its power state prior to being docked. If the mouse was ON when docked, it will again switch back ON when removed from the dock-lock. If the mouse was switched OFF prior to being docked, the mouse will need to be switched ON manually via the ON/OFF button on the underside of the mouse.

Warning: DO NOT leave the mouse docked to your notebook when you pack it in a notebook carrying bag. This can cause the dock lock to detach from your notebook cover.  If detached, the dock lock cannot be used again.
