To establish a wireless connection:

The mouse must be turned on (with batteries) and the USB receiver plugged into your computer, then press the connect button on the receiver (1). Next, push the connect button on the bottom of the mouse (2). If this does not work, try repeating these steps, but hold the mouse closer to the receiver. This step may need to be repeated 2–3 times for the mouse to synchronize. Repeat this procedure when replacing the batteries.

IMPORTANT: This wireless device is similar to an FM radio, by adjusting the antenna you can get better reception. You may also want to experiment with different locations and positions of the receiver.

Common Troubleshooting Steps

Unplug and re-plug the mouse. Repeat the steps on Page 5 to synchronize the device.
Test the device on another computer.
Some surfaces may “trick” the optical sensor, such as high gloss wood, and reflective surfaces like glass or mirrors. The ideal surface is a bright white surface (such as a piece of paper).

By paying attention to the way you perform your work, use your computer and phone, play sports, and work around the house, you can identify the behaviors that may be putting you at risk.
If you experience pain, swelling, numbness, or weakness in your wrists or hands (especially during sleep), see your physician immediately.
