Hyper-fast Scroll Wheel

The scroll wheel offers two modes for navigation:

• Free-spinning mode: Ideal for quickly scrolling through long documents, web pages, and news feeds. To activate, press the scroll wheel button.
• Click-to-click mode: Provides precise, stepped scrolling for navigating spreadsheets, photo albums, or playlists. To activate, press the scroll wheel button again.

The scroll wheel can also be tilted left or right for horizontal scrolling or other customizable functions.

Windows Shortcut Button

Located directly behind the scroll wheel, this button provides one-touch access to key Windows 8 features:

• Pressing this button allows quick access to the App Switcher and Charms Bar in Windows 8.
• This button can also be customized using Logitech SetPoint software for other functions.

Thumb Buttons

Two programmable thumb buttons are located on the left side of the mouse. By default, these buttons facilitate quick switching between the traditional Windows desktop and the Windows 8 Start screen. Their functions can be customized via Logitech SetPoint software.

Maintenance

Battery Replacement

The M560 mouse operates on one AA battery, offering up to 18 months of battery life under typical usage conditions. When the power indicator light signals a low battery, replace it as described in the "Installing the Battery" section.

Cleaning

To clean your mouse, use a soft, lint-free cloth. For stubborn dirt, slightly dampen the cloth with water or a mild cleaning solution. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials, as these can damage the mouse's surface.

Troubleshooting

Mouse Not Responding

• Check Battery: Ensure the AA battery is correctly installed and has sufficient charge. Replace if necessary.
• Power Switch: Verify that the mouse's On/Off switch (located on the underside) is in the "On" position.
• Receiver Connection: Ensure the Logitech Unifying receiver is securely plugged into a working USB port on your computer. Try a different USB port.
• Distance: Make sure the mouse is within range of the Unifying receiver (typically up to 10 meters or 33 feet).
• Interference: Move the mouse and receiver away from other electrical devices that might cause interference (e.g., cordless phones, Wi-Fi routers).
• Re-pair Device: If issues persist, you may need to re-pair the mouse with the Unifying receiver using the Logitech Unifying Software, available for download from the Logitech website.

Cursor Movement is Erratic or Inaccurate

• Surface: Ensure you are using the mouse on a suitable surface. Highly reflective or transparent surfaces (like glass) may affect tracking. Use a mouse pad if necessary.
• Sensor Cleanliness: Check the optical sensor on the underside of the mouse for any dust or debris and clean gently with a soft cloth.
• Software Settings: Adjust mouse pointer speed and acceleration settings in your computer's operating system control panel.
