To conserve battery life, the mouse will automatically enter sleep mode after 8 minutes of inactivity. To wake it up, simply move the mouse or click any button.

Maintenance

• Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the mouse. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
• Battery Replacement: When the mouse performance degrades or the cursor becomes erratic, it's time to replace the batteries. Ensure you use fresh AA batteries and dispose of old batteries responsibly.
• Storage: When not in use for extended periods, turn off the mouse using the ON/OFF switch to further conserve battery life. Store the USB receiver inside the mouse's battery compartment to prevent loss.

Troubleshooting

• Mouse not responding:
  • Ensure the mouse is turned ON.
  • Check if the batteries are correctly installed and have sufficient charge. Replace if necessary.
  • Ensure the USB receiver is securely plugged into a working USB port. Try a different USB port.
  • Move the mouse closer to the USB receiver to rule out range issues.
  • Restart your computer.
• Erratic cursor movement:
  • Clean the optical sensor on the bottom of the mouse.
  • Ensure you are using the mouse on a suitable surface. The mouse is designed to track on various surfaces like resin, wood, fabric, paper, and metal. Avoid highly reflective or transparent surfaces.
  • Adjust the DPI setting to a lower level if the cursor is too sensitive.
• Forward/Backward buttons not working on Mac:

  These side buttons are not supported by Mac OS. This is a system limitation, not a mouse malfunction.
