6. Troubleshooting

6.1 Connectivity Issues

• Mouse not responding (Wireless): Ensure the Nano Receiver is securely plugged into a USB port. Try a different USB port. Verify the mouse is switched to 2.4Ghz wireless mode. Recharge the mouse if the battery is low.
• Bluetooth connection unstable: Ensure the mouse is in Bluetooth pairing mode. Remove the mouse from your device's Bluetooth list and re-pair. Move the mouse closer to your device to reduce interference.
• Lag or stuttering: For 2.4Ghz wireless, try using the included USB Type-C conversion adapter and cable to bring the receiver closer to the mouse. Ensure there are no strong interfering signals (e.g., other wireless devices) nearby.

6.2 TFT Display Not Working

• Display is blank: Press and hold the Backward + Right buttons for 5 seconds to toggle the TFT display on/off. Ensure the mouse has sufficient battery charge.
• Display is dim: Adjust the brightness setting through the DAREU software.

6.3 Inconsistent Sensor Performance

• Tracking issues: Ensure your mouse pad or surface is clean and free of debris. The AIM-750U sensor has auto-adaptive technology, but extreme surfaces may still affect performance. Try a different surface.
