When the USB cable is plugged into the mouse USB-C port, it will automatically switch to wired mouse mode.
We recommend switching off the power on the mouse before plugging in the USB cable to charge.
When the battery is charging, the Scroll Wheel LED will be blinking Red. When the battery is fully charged, the Red light will remain constant.
