Power Management

The M305 mouse features an On/Off switch located on its underside. To conserve battery life, it is recommended to switch the mouse to the "Off" position when not in use for extended periods, such as overnight or during travel. The mouse also enters a low-power sleep mode automatically when idle.

Maintenance

Cleaning

To clean your Logitech Wireless Mouse M305, use a soft, lint-free cloth slightly dampened with water or a mild cleaning solution. Avoid using harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners, or excessive moisture, as these can damage the mouse. Ensure the mouse is powered off before cleaning.

Battery Replacement

When the mouse's performance degrades or it stops responding, the AA battery may need replacement. The average battery life is approximately 8 months, but this can vary based on usage. To replace the battery, open the battery compartment on the underside of the mouse, remove the old battery, insert a new AA battery with correct polarity, and close the compartment.

Troubleshooting

Common Issues and Solutions

• Mouse Not Responding:
  • Ensure the mouse is powered "On" using the switch on the underside.
  • Check if the nano receiver is securely plugged into a working USB port on your computer. Try a different USB port.
  • Replace the AA battery with a fresh one.
  • Move the mouse closer to the receiver to rule out range issues.
• Erratic Cursor Movement:
  • Clean the optical sensor on the underside of the mouse with a soft, dry cloth.
  • Ensure you are using the mouse on a suitable surface. Highly reflective or transparent surfaces may cause issues. A mouse pad is recommended.
  • Check for interference from other wireless devices.
• Lag or Delay:
  • Ensure the nano receiver is not obstructed by metal objects or other electronics.
  • Try plugging the receiver into a USB port on the front of your computer if using a desktop.
  • Verify that your computer's operating system and drivers are up to date.
