The EM11NL mouse supports three connection modes: 2.4G Wireless (via USB receiver), Bluetooth 1 (BT1), and Bluetooth 2 (BT2). You can switch between these modes using the mode switch button located on the bottom of the mouse.

3. On your device (computer, iPad, Mac, Android tablet), go to Bluetooth settings.

• The mouse will automatically connect to the last paired device on that channel.

6. Maintenance

• Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the mouse. For stubborn dirt, a slightly damp cloth can be used, ensuring no moisture enters the internal components.
• Battery Care: Avoid fully discharging the battery frequently. Charge the mouse when the low battery indicator appears. Do not expose the mouse to extreme temperatures.
• Storage: When not in use for extended periods, store the mouse in a cool, dry place.

7. Troubleshooting

Mouse not responding:

• Check the battery level and charge the mouse if necessary.
• Ensure the correct connection mode (2.4G, BT1, or BT2) is selected on the mouse.
• For 2.4G, try re-inserting the USB receiver into a different USB port.
• For Bluetooth, try re-pairing the mouse with your device.

Lagging or disconnection issues:

• Move the mouse closer to the USB receiver or Bluetooth-enabled device.
• Ensure there are no large metal objects or other wireless devices causing interference.

Forward/Backward buttons not working:

• These buttons are not supported on Mac OS systems. They function correctly on Windows and Android.

DPI not changing:

9. User Tips

• Optimal Comfort: For the best ergonomic experience, ensure your hand size is suitable for the mouse. The EM11NL is generally recommended for medium-sized hands.
• DPI Customization: Experiment with the adjustable DPI settings (1000, 1600, 2400) to find the sensitivity that best suits your tasks. Lower DPI is often preferred for precision work, while higher DPI allows for faster cursor movement across large screens.
• Maintain Posture: Always strive to maintain a neutral wrist and arm position, allowing the mouse's ergonomic design to support your natural posture.
• Regular Charging: To ensure uninterrupted use, charge your mouse regularly. The 90-day standby time is impressive, but consistent charging will prevent unexpected power loss during critical tasks.
