Setup

1. Insert the Receiver: Plug the Logitech USB Unifying Receiver into an available USB port on your computer.
2. Install Logitech Unifying Software: The receiver requires the Logitech Unifying Software for pairing devices. This software is not included in the package and must be downloaded from the official Logitech website. Visit support.logi.com/unifying to download the latest version.
3. Pair Your Devices:
   • Launch the Logitech Unifying Software.
   • Follow the on-screen instructions to add your Logitech Unifying-compatible mouse or keyboard. This typically involves turning the device off and then on again, or pressing a connect button on the device.
   • Repeat this process for each additional device you wish to connect, up to a maximum of six devices per receiver.

Operating

Once paired, your Logitech Unifying-compatible devices will automatically connect to the receiver when they are powered on and within range. The receiver utilizes advanced 2.4 GHz wireless technology, providing a strong and reliable connection with virtually no delays or dropouts.

Connecting Multiple Devices

The primary advantage of the Unifying Receiver is its ability to connect up to six compatible devices simultaneously. This reduces the number of USB ports required for your wireless peripherals.

• Ensure all devices you wish to connect are Unifying-compatible (look for the orange star icon).
• Use the Logitech Unifying Software to pair each device individually to the same receiver.

Maintenance

The Logitech USB Unifying Receiver requires minimal maintenance. Follow these guidelines to ensure its longevity and optimal performance:

• Keep it Plugged In: For desktop use, it is recommended to keep the receiver plugged into a USB port to avoid misplacement.
• Handle with Care: While durable, avoid excessive force when inserting or removing the receiver from a USB port.
• Keep Clean: If necessary, gently wipe the exterior of the receiver with a dry, soft cloth. Do not use liquid cleaners.
• Protect from Elements: Keep the receiver away from extreme temperatures, moisture, and direct sunlight.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your Logitech USB Unifying Receiver, consider the following troubleshooting steps:

• Device Not Connecting:
  • Ensure the receiver is securely plugged into a working USB port. Try a different USB port.
  • Verify that your device is powered on and has fresh batteries (if applicable).
  • Re-run the Logitech Unifying Software and attempt to re-pair the device.
  • Ensure the device is Unifying-compatible (look for the orange star icon). Not all Logitech wireless devices use the Unifying receiver.
