2. Setup Instructions

2.1 Connecting Your Mouse

1. Wireless Receiver Connection: A wireless receiver attached to a USB adapter can be found in the accessory box. Plug one end of the provided cable into your PC, and the other end into the USB adapter and receiver.
2. Direct Receiver Connection (Optional): The receiver can also be plugged directly into your PC. However, using the cable and adapter when in wireless mode is recommended for better connectivity and easy access to the cable for recharging.
3. Power On: Turn the mouse on via the switch located on the bottom of the mouse.

2.2 Charging Your Mouse

To charge, disconnect the cable from the adapter and plug it into the front of the mouse. Your mouse will operate in data-over-cable mode whenever it is plugged in directly to a PC. A full charge from empty requires approximately 2 hours when plugged into a PC USB port.

2.3 Software Installation

Download the Logitech G HUB gaming software from www.logitechG.com/GHUB to customize your mouse settings.

• Keep the mouse and receiver at least 2 meters (6.5 ft) away from wireless routers or other 2.4GHz wireless devices to minimize environmental noise and interference.
