Troubleshooting

What do I do if the optical mouse does not work?

• Check that the channel setting on both the mouse and the 

receiver are the same.

• Make sure that the polarity of the battery is correct. The 

positive (+) and negative (-) ends of the battery must match the 
positive (+) and negative (-) connections in the battery 
housing.

• The battery may need recharging. Connect the mouse to the 

charger base.

• Check that the receiver’s USB connector is firmly attached to 

the USB port on your computer.

• Verify that the device drivers are installed.

• Make sure you have established a radio link between the 

mouse and its receiver. See “Establishing a Communications 
Link” on page 6.

When I use the optical mouse, other wireless devices work 
more slowly or fail temporarily – what should I do?

The mouse may cause interference with any cordless, 
radio-based device that operates at 27 MHz, such as a telephone, 
baby monitor, or toy. To reduce interference, move the mouse’s 
receiver and the base unit of the affected device as far away from 
each other as possible.

What do I do if the response time of the optical mouse is slow 
or the mouse intermittently stops working?

• Increase the distance between the mouse’s receiver and the rest 

of your computer equipment. Use the USB extension cable if 
necessary.
