Cleaning
To ensure optimal performance and hygiene, regularly clean your mouse:

Troubleshooting
Mouse Not Responding
- Check Battery: Ensure the AA battery is correctly installed and has sufficient charge. Replace if necessary.
- Check Power Switch: Make sure the On/Off switch on the bottom of the mouse is in the "On" position.
- Check USB Receiver: Verify that the USB nano receiver is securely plugged into a working USB port on your computer. Try a different USB port if available.
- Re-pair: In rare cases, you might need to re-pair the mouse with the receiver. Consult the Logitech support website for specific instructions for your model if automatic connection fails.
Erratic Cursor Movement
- Clean Sensor: Dust or debris on the optical sensor can cause erratic movement. Clean the sensor as described in the Maintenance section.
- Surface: Ensure you are using the mouse on a suitable surface. Highly reflective or transparent surfaces may interfere with optical tracking. Try a mouse pad or a different surface.
