3.2. Bluetooth Pairing

The i-tec BlueTouch 245 mouse uses Bluetooth 4.0 technology. An external Bluetooth adapter is typically not required as most modern devices have built-in Bluetooth.

1. Ensure the mouse is powered on. There may be a power switch on the underside.
2. Activate Bluetooth on your computer, tablet, or smartphone.
3. Put the mouse into pairing mode. This usually involves pressing a small button on the underside of the mouse, often labeled "Connect" or with a Bluetooth symbol, until an indicator light starts blinking.
4. On your device, search for new Bluetooth devices.
5. Select "i-tec BlueTouch 245" or a similar name from the list of available devices.

4. Operating Instructions

4.1. Basic Functions

• Left Click: Primary selection and activation.
• Right Click: Opens contextual menus.
• Scroll Wheel: Scrolls content vertically. Can also be pressed for middle-click functionality (varies by application/OS).

4.2. DPI Adjustment

The vertical ergonomic design of the BlueTouch 245 mouse is intended to keep your wrist in a natural, handshake-like position. This design helps to reduce strain on the wrist, elbow, shoulder, and back, and may mitigate the risk of developing conditions like carpal tunnel syndrome. The mouse is designed for comfortable long-term use.
