Help with Setup and Troubleshooting

Pointer Does Not Move At All?

1. Ensure the power switch is in the ON position.
2. Verify the battery polarity is correct. Check battery power by turning the mouse OFF and then ON. If the battery indicator light glows red or does not glow at all, replace the batteries.
3. Try plugging the Unifying receiver into a different USB port.
4. Reconnect the mouse and Unifying receiver using the Logitech Unifying software (refer to the Unifying section of this guide for details).

Erratic Pointer Movement or Missed Button Clicks?

1. Try using the mouse on a different surface.
2. Remove any metallic objects located between the mouse and the Unifying receiver.
3. If the Unifying receiver is plugged into a USB hub, try plugging it directly into your computer.
4. Move the Unifying receiver to a USB port closer to the mouse, or consider using a USB extension stand available at https://www.logitech.com/usbextender to place the receiver closer to the mouse.
