Mouse button switching modes
You can use a three button mouse to switch between systems. However, when 
used in this way, the action of the middle mouse button or scroll wheel click 
is ‘trapped’ by the Adder TS4 and is not passed to the system. This makes it 
unavailable for use in controlling applications on the selected system. The scroll 
wheel scrolling action is unaffected and passed on normally to the systems, only 
the scroll wheel click is used by the Adder TS4.
•  To use the mouse buttons to change systems, use options U1 (default) or 
U4.
•  To use the scroll wheel click/third mouse button with the systems, use 
options U3 or U5. 
•  To report only a simple 2-button mouse to the systems, use option U2.

SELECT
 button until the
