Frequently Asked Questions
Question 1:
My Bluetooth mouse doesn’t connect to my computer after being idle. How
do I reconnect my mouse?
Answer:
Windows 7 and Windows 8 have a known issue with selective power
management of attached devices which could make your mouse appear
locked. Reboot the system or turn your Bluetooth radio o and back on to
reconnect your mouse.
If the Bluetooth radio on your computer is set to Allow the computer to
turn o this device to save power, this could also cause your mouse to not
reconnect after being idle. To solve this, disable the Allow the computer to
turn o this device to save power option in the Bluetooth radio properties of
your computer.
• For Windows 7:
1. Click the Start button and type Device Manager.
2. Click on Device Manager in the Results window.
3. In Device Manager, expand Bluetooth Radios.
4. Right click on the Bluetooth radio device and select Properties.
5. On the Advanced tab, the Manufacturer Id will be 15 if your radio
is Broadcom-based. On the Power Management tab, uncheck the
option Allow the computer to turn o this device to save power.
6. Click OK.
26 │ Troubleshooting
• For Windows 8:
1. Select Search and type Device Manager.
2. Select Settings.
3 In Device Manager, expand Bluetooth and select the Bluetooth
radio for the Dell WM615 mouse.
4. In Device Manager, expand Bluetooth and select the Bluetooth
radio for the Dell WM615 mouse.
5. Right click on the Bluetooth radio and select Properties.
6. On the Power Management tab, uncheck the option Allow the
computer to turn o this device to save power.
7. Click OK.
Troubleshooting │ 27
• For Windows 10:
1. Type Device Manager in Search the web and Windows field
(next to the Start button) and press Enter.
2. In Device Manager, expand Bluetooth and select the Bluetooth
radio for the Dell WM615 mouse.
3. Right click on the Bluetooth radio and select Properties
4. On the Power Management tab, uncheck the option Allow the
computer to turn o this device to save power.
5. Click OK.
Question 2:
Why is my Bluetooth mouse slow when reconnecting to my computer,
when compared to my mouse using a USB 2.0 Nano dongle?
Answer:
A wireless mouse using a USB2.0 Nano dongle utilizes a dedicated 2.4G
connection between the computer and mouse, making the reconnection
almost instantaneous.
Using a Bluetooth connection, the Dell WM615 Bluetooth mouse shares the
same 2.4G bandwidth with the Wireless subsystem of the computer making
reconnection slower in comparison to a wireless mouse using a 2.0 USB
Nano dongle. During this reconnection process, mouse cursor movement
could be seen as erratic until the reconnection link is fully established.
