Operating Instructions

• Basic Functions: Use the left button for primary clicks, the right button for secondary clicks (context menus), and the scroll wheel for vertical scrolling.
• Ambidextrous Design: The symmetrical shape of the M171 is suitable for both right-handed and left-handed users. Button functions can be reassigned through your operating system's mouse settings if desired.
• Wireless Range: The mouse operates using a 2.4 GHz wireless connection, providing a range of up to 10 meters (33 feet) from the USB receiver. Actual range may vary based on environmental factors.
• Compatibility: The M171 is compatible with Windows, Mac, and Chrome OS.

Maintenance

• Battery Replacement: The mouse operates on a single AA battery, with an approximate battery life of 12 months. When the mouse performance degrades or stops responding, replace the AA battery. Open the battery compartment on the underside, remove the old battery, and insert a new AA battery with correct polarity.
• Cleaning: To clean the mouse, use a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials. For the optical sensor, use a cotton swab lightly dampened with isopropyl alcohol if necessary, ensuring no liquid enters the mouse interior.
• Power Saving: To conserve battery life, slide the power switch on the underside of the mouse to the "OFF" position when not in use for extended periods.
