TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE

Penguin (wired version)

• Make sure your Penguin is firmly plugged into your computer’s USB port
• Try using a different USB port. If possible plug it directly into the computer i.e. not through any monitors/keyboards/hubs etc.
• Although your Penguin is plug & play, make sure your computer is up to date with the latest drivers/operating software for pointing devices
• Check that the sensor on the underside of the Penguin isn’t covered and has a clear line of sight to the surface below. Also check that your Penguin has not been dropped which could dislodge the laser.
• Try using the Penguin on a mouse mat / non-reflective surface
• Close your computer down and reboot

Penguin (Bluetooth/wireless version)

Note: USB is found inside compartment on Penguin base.

• Make sure that the Penguin is charged via the USB-C charging cable.

• Make sure the switch on the underside of the base is in ‘ON’ position
  (rechargeable models only) – either ‘UP’ (BLUE) for Bluetooth or ‘DOWN’
  (GREEN) for wireless operation.

• If using wireless, make sure your Penguin’s dongle (micro receiver) is firmly plugged in to your computer’s USB port.

• If using wireless, try unplugging the Penguin dongle (micro receiver), then plugging it back in again.

• If using Bluetooth, on your PC, remove Bluetooth item (Penguin Mouse) and re-add Bluetooth device again.

• If using wireless, try holding the Penguin close to the sensor for 30 seconds whilst intermittently clicking the top button – it sometimes takes this to get the dongle to recognise the hardware.

• If using wireless, try using a different USB port to connect your Penguin.
  If possible plug it directly into the computer, i.e. not through any monitors/keyboards/hubs etc.

• If using wireless, remove the USB Dongle and turn ‘OFF’ the Penguin switch.
  Reboot your computer. Now re-insert USB dongle, wait 10/15 seconds and turn Penguin switch back ‘ON’ – in ‘DOWN’ (GREEN) position.

• Although your Penguin is plug & play, make sure your computer is up to date with the latest drivers / operating software for pointing devices.

• Check that the sensor on the underside of the Penguin isn’t covered and has a clear line of sight to the surface below. Also check that your Penguin has not been dropped which could dislodge the laser.

• Try using the Penguin on a mouse mat / unreflective surface.

• Make sure the charging cable is firmly attached into the USB port of your computer and the USB-C end is firmly pushed into the front of the Penguin. The ‘P’ Logo should light an orange colour. Recharge directly via a USB port on your computer NOT via a multi-USB hub.

• Try your Penguin mouse on a different PC/laptop to check if the issue is still present.

If you attempt all of the above suggestions and still there appears to be a problem, please contact your supplier.
