2. Connecting the USB Receiver

Locate the ultra-small USB receiver, typically stored in a compartment on the underside of the mouse. Remove the receiver and plug it into an available USB port on your notebook or PC. The Smart-Link technology ensures easy and automatic connection.

3. Charging the Mouse

The MW-500 mouse features a built-in rechargeable Li-ion battery. Before first use, or when the battery is low, connect the provided charging cable to the USB-C port on the front of the mouse and to a USB power source (e.g., computer USB port, USB wall adapter).
