Troubleshooting
1. Connectivity Issues
- Mouse not responding: Ensure the mouse is turned on and the battery has sufficient charge. Replace the battery if necessary.
- Logi Bolt connection issues: Try plugging the Logi Bolt receiver into a different USB port. Ensure the mouse is within the 10m operating range. Re-pair the mouse with the receiver using Logi Options+.
- Bluetooth connection issues: Ensure Bluetooth is enabled on your device. Forget the device in your Bluetooth settings and re-pair it. Ensure the mouse is within the 10m operating range.
2. Trackball Responsiveness
