If the status lamp does not light when the mouse is turned on, replace the
battery. For details, see “Preparations”.
The mouse and receiver are not communicating.
–
Perform steps of “Connecting the mouse with the receiver” to ensure that
proper communication is possible.
–
In some operating environments, the usable distance may be notably shorter,
preventing normal operation. In such a case, use the mouse farther away from
other electronic devices such as other computers and displays.
–
If the mouse is too far from the receiver, communication is not possible. Bring
the mouse and receiver closer together.
The mouse may have difficulty communicating in a 2.4 GHz wireless LAN
environment.
It is best to use the mouse in a location with low interference from wireless
devices.
The scrolling features do not work.
The operating system is not compatible.
Use a supported operating system.
The program you are using is not compatible with the scrolling features.
–
The scrolling features only work with programs that use a scroll function.
–

After the receiver was installed, the computer was returned to normal mode from
power-saving mode.
Disconnect the receiver from the USB port, wait a few seconds, and then
reconnect it.
The pointer does not move when I move the mouse.

mouse, the mouse may not work properly. In this case, remove the dust with a
dry cotton swab. Wipe gently to avoid scratching the lens, which could cause a
malfunction.
I cannot make the computer exit power-saving mode with the
mouse, or it takes a long time.
