  3. Power On:
    • There is no explicit power switch on this model; the mouse activates upon movement and connection.
    • Your computer should automatically detect and install the necessary drivers. This may take a few moments.
    • Once drivers are installed, the mouse is ready for use.

5. Operating Instructions

The Targus W620 Wireless Optical Mouse is designed for intuitive use. Here are its primary functions:

  • Basic Navigation: Move the mouse on a flat surface to control the cursor on your screen.
  • Left Click: Use for selecting items, opening files, or activating functions.
  • Right Click: Use for accessing context menus or secondary functions.
  • Scroll Wheel: Rotate the wheel to scroll vertically through documents and web pages. Press the scroll wheel for a middle-click function, often used for opening links in new tabs or auto-scrolling.
  • DPI Adjustment: Press the DPI button (located behind the scroll wheel) to cycle through the available DPI settings (800, 1200, 1600 DPI). This changes the sensitivity of the mouse cursor. A higher DPI means the cursor moves further with less physical mouse movement.

6. Maintenance

Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and performance of your mouse.

  • Cleaning: Use a soft, dry, lint-free cloth to clean the exterior of the mouse. For stubborn dirt, slightly dampen the cloth with water. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
  • Optical Sensor: Keep the optical sensor area on the bottom of the mouse clean and free from dust or debris to ensure accurate tracking.
  • Battery Replacement: When the mouse performance degrades or stops responding, it is likely time to replace the batteries. Follow the steps in Section 4.1 to replace the two AAA batteries.
  • Storage: When transporting or storing the mouse, always place the USB receiver back into its dedicated storage slot on the bottom of the mouse to prevent loss.

7. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your Targus W620 mouse, try the following solutions:
