2. Setup

2.1 Charging the Magic Mouse

The Magic Mouse comes with a rechargeable lithium-ion battery. Before first use, or if the battery is low, connect the included USB-C Charge Cable to the USB-C port located on the bottom of the mouse and to a USB-C port on your Mac or a USB-C power adapter. A full charge typically provides power for about a month or more of use. The mouse cannot be used while charging due to the port's placement.

2. Turn on the Magic Mouse using the switch on its bottom surface.
3. Connect the Magic Mouse to your Mac using the USB-C Charge Cable. This will automatically pair the mouse with your Mac.
4. Once paired, you can disconnect the cable for wireless use. The mouse should appear in your Mac's Bluetooth device list.

• Swipe between pages: Swipe one finger left or right to navigate between pages in web browsers or documents.

4. Maintenance

4.1 Cleaning the Magic Mouse

To clean your Magic Mouse, first turn it off using the switch on the bottom. Use a soft, lint-free cloth slightly dampened with water to wipe the exterior surfaces. Avoid getting moisture into any openings. Do not use aerosol sprays, solvents, or abrasives.

4.2 Battery Care

The Magic Mouse uses a built-in rechargeable lithium-ion battery. For optimal battery life, avoid fully discharging the battery frequently. Charge the mouse when prompted by your Mac or when the battery indicator light (if visible) suggests a low charge. Store the mouse at room temperature when not in use for extended periods.

• Re-pair: If the mouse is listed but not connecting, try removing it from the Bluetooth device list and re-pairing it by connecting the USB-C cable.
• Interference: Move the mouse closer to your Mac and away from potential sources of wireless interference (e.g., Wi-Fi routers, other Bluetooth devices).
