5. Establishing A Bluetooth Connection

The Bluetooth mouse can work in any Bluetooth working environment.
Before connecting your Bluetooth mouse with your computer, make sure
your computer has a working Bluetooth configuration that meets
Bluetooth Specification v1.1 or higher with Human Interface Device (HID)
profile. If your computer does not support Bluetooth, you need to obtain
and install a commercially available Bluetooth adapter which converts
your computer to a Bluetooth environment.

Pairing your Bluetooth mouse with your computer

7. Troubleshooting

A. Mouse does not work upon installation or is not detected

Try one or more of the followings:
Ÿ Make sure you have installed the batteries correctly and turn the switch on.

Replace a fresh set of batteries if it still doesn’t work.

Ÿ Make sure that computer’s Bluetooth is enabled.
Ÿ Press the connection button to reset the Bluetooth connection between your

mouse and computer. Make sure it had been detected by the Operating
Systems properly.

B. The screen cursor does not move properly

If your screen cursor lags behind the movement, then your Bluetooth
connection may not be able to transmit all of the data from the mouse
with the necessary speed. This may be caused by interference from
other radio sources, obstructions in the radio wave path, excessive
distance from the computer, or a combination of the above.

1. Low Battery: Make sure that the battery low indicator is NOT lit.

Replace batteries if the low battery indicator is lit.

2. Try the following actions to improve your Bluetooth connection and

optimize your mouse performance:

Ÿ Remove any metallic objects from the line of sight between your computer

and Bluetooth mouse.

Ÿ If you are using a computer with a built-in Bluetooth antenna, try

reorienting the computer until you get a better data rate.

Ÿ If you are using a Bluetooth device, use a USB extension cable and place

the Bluetooth adapter onto your desktop or somewhere in sight of your
Bluetooth mouse.

Ÿ Move the mouse closer to your Bluetooth device.
Ÿ Disconnect any Bluetooth audio devices, such as headsets, that may be

connected to your computer.

Ÿ Switch off any other devices operating in the 2.4 GHz radio spectrum,

such as Wi-Fi network, mobile telephones, etc., or move their antennas
further away from your computer.
