Setup

1. Install Batteries: The Logitech MX600 requires two AA batteries. Open the battery compartment located on the underside of the mouse, insert the batteries according to the polarity indicators, and close the compartment.
2. Connect USB Receiver: Locate the ultra-compact USB receiver. Plug the receiver into an available USB port on your computer.
3. Power On Mouse: Turn on the mouse using the power switch, usually located on the underside. Your computer should automatically detect and install the necessary drivers for the mouse.
4. Initial Pairing: In most cases, the mouse will automatically pair with the receiver. If connection issues occur, refer to the troubleshooting section or consult the Logitech support website for specific pairing instructions.

Operating the Mouse

The MX600 mouse offers a range of features for enhanced productivity and navigation.

• Standard Buttons: Utilize the left and right mouse buttons for primary and secondary clicks.
• Scroll Wheel: The scroll wheel allows for vertical scrolling through documents and web pages. It may also function as a middle click button.
• Programmable Top Buttons: The mouse features three programmable buttons on the top surface. These can be customized using Logitech's software to perform various functions, such as controlling computer volume or muting audio.
• Programmable Side Buttons: Two additional programmable buttons are located on the side, typically near where your thumb rests. These are useful for in-game controls or quick navigation actions like 'back' and 'forward' in web browsers.
• Laser Tracking: The MX600 uses laser tracking for precise cursor movement. For optimal performance, use the mouse on a suitable surface.

Surface Compatibility

The laser sensor is highly sensitive to the surface it operates on. To ensure smooth and accurate cursor movement, avoid using the mouse on surfaces such as:

• Glass or highly reflective surfaces.
• Microfiber cloth or very soft, uneven textures.
• Ordinary white paper (can cause choppiness).

Optimal surfaces include ordinary flat tables, wood, or matte-finish paper. If you experience erratic cursor behavior, try changing the surface.

Maintenance

• Battery Replacement: When the battery indicator light flashes or performance degrades, replace the two AA batteries. Always use fresh, good-quality batteries for best results.
• Cleaning: To maintain optimal performance, periodically clean the mouse. Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe down the exterior. For the laser sensor, use a cotton swab lightly dampened with rubbing alcohol, ensuring no liquid enters the mouse.
• Storage: When not in use for extended periods, turn off the mouse to conserve battery life. Store in a cool, dry place.

Troubleshooting

Mouse Not Responding:

• Ensure the mouse is powered on.
• Check battery levels and replace if necessary.
• Verify the USB receiver is securely plugged into a working USB port.
• Try plugging the receiver into a different USB port.
• Restart your computer.

Erratic or Choppy Cursor Movement:

• Change the surface the mouse is being used on. Opt for a matte, non-reflective surface like a wooden desk or a suitable mouse pad.
• Clean the laser sensor on the underside of the mouse.
• Ensure there are no obstructions between the mouse and the receiver.

Poor Battery Life:

• Ensure you are using good quality AA batteries.
• Turn off the mouse when not in use for extended periods.
• Avoid using the mouse on highly reflective or uneven surfaces, as this can cause the laser to work harder and drain batteries faster.
