TROUBLESHOOTING
Q: Are there any special steps for me to take to help prevent potential problems with the Wireless Mouse?
A: On Windows Vista and Windows 7, there are minor settings that we identified to cause problems for SteelSeries devices. For
more information on these changes, please go to http://faq.steelseries.com/questions/366/ .
Q: While installing the Engine, the installer tried to run a firmware upgrade but failed. Now my mouse is slowly blinking on and off,
but doesn’t work at all!
A: If the mouse is blinking but does not work after a failed firmware update, it is stuck in bootloader mode. This may seem scary
initially, but do not worry – it can be repaired in nearly all cases. It simply needs a successful firmware flash.
To restore functionality to the mouse, finish installing the SteelSeries Engine and launch the Firmware Update Tool (on Windows,
right click on the System Tray icon and select “Launch SteelSeries Firmware Update Tool”. On Mac, go to Applications ->
SteelSeriesEngine, and select the Firmware Update Tool). Select the appropriate device. Multiple retries or USB port switching
may be necessary.

Engine – compatible device to start”.
