4. Maintenance
4.1 Battery Management
The Microsoft Precision Mouse is equipped with a rechargeable battery. Battery life can vary based on usage. To charge, connect the mouse via its USB port to a power source. It is recommended to charge the battery regularly to ensure uninterrupted performance.
4.2 Cleaning Instructions
To maintain the mouse's appearance and functionality, clean it periodically. Use a soft, lint-free cloth slightly dampened with water or a mild cleaning solution. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or spraying liquids directly onto the mouse.
5. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your Microsoft Precision Mouse, consider the following common solutions:
- Connectivity Issues (Bluetooth): If the mouse frequently disconnects or fails to connect, ensure it is within range of your device. Try re-pairing the mouse or restarting your computer's Bluetooth service. Check for driver updates for your Bluetooth adapter.
- Wired Connection Disconnects: If the mouse disconnects when wired, try a different USB port or cable. Ensure the cable is securely connected to both the mouse and the computer.
- Choppy Cursor Movement: This can occur with wireless connections. Try power cycling the mouse (turn it off and on again). Ensure there are no strong interference sources nearby. Update mouse drivers.
- Scroll Wheel Ineffectiveness: If the scroll wheel becomes unresponsive or scrolls too slowly, try switching between the smooth and tactile scrolling modes. For wired connections, disconnecting and reconnecting the USB cable may resolve the issue.
- Programmable Buttons Not Working: Ensure you have the necessary software installed for customization (e.g., Microsoft Mouse and Keyboard Center). Remember that customization is not available on Windows 10 S or Mac OSX.
