Maintenance
- Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the mouse. For stubborn dirt, slightly dampen the cloth with water or a mild cleaning solution. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
- Battery Care: To prolong battery life, avoid fully discharging the mouse frequently. Charge it when the low battery indicator appears. Store the mouse in a cool, dry place if not used for extended periods.
- Storage: When not in use, store the USB receiver in a safe place to prevent loss.
Troubleshooting
- Mouse not responding:
- Ensure the mouse is powered on.
- Check battery level and charge if necessary.
- For 2.4G connection, ensure the USB receiver is securely plugged in and try a different USB port.
- For Bluetooth connection, ensure Bluetooth is enabled on your device and the mouse is paired correctly. Try re-pairing.
- Switch between connection modes (2.4G, BT1, BT2) to see if the issue is specific to one mode.
- Cursor movement is erratic or slow:
- Clean the optical sensor on the bottom of the mouse.
- Adjust the DPI setting using the DPI button to a higher sensitivity.
- Ensure you are using the mouse on a suitable surface (non-reflective, opaque).
- Forward/Backward buttons not working on Mac OS:
- This is a known compatibility limitation. The forward and backward buttons are not supported on Mac OS systems.
