2. Press the battery hatch release slider. This will open the battery hatch.
NOTE:
The battery hatch release slider is spring-operated and will not
hold in place after you release it. This is not a malfunction.
3. Turn the mouse over so that the battery hatch is accessible. This will allow you to open the
battery hatch.
4
4. Open the battery hatch by applying pressure under the LASER logo and lifting away from the
body of the mouse. This will allow you to access the battery compartments.
CAUTION:
If the battery hatch does not open easily, it may have locked back
into place during handling of the mouse. Do not force the battery
hatch, or you may damage it! Instead, start again from step 1.
5. Slide your two (2) AA batteries into the battery compartments. Ensure that positive ends
of both batteries are pointed outward from the mouse. This configuration will allow the batteries
to provide your mouse with power.
5
6. Replace the battery hatch and apply downward pressure to the LASER logo to lock it into place.
You should hear a “click” when the hatch is locked into place. This will protect the internal
components of the mouse and make the mouse more ergonomic during use.
CAUTION:
If the hatch does not lock into place easily, it may have been replaced
incorrectly. Do not force the battery hatch, or you may damage it!
Instead, remove the battery hatch from the mouse and try Step 6 again.
7. Turn the mouse over so that the on/off switch is visible. This will allow you to switch the mouse
on.

8. Set the on/off switch to the “ON” position. This will turn on the mouse and allow you to test
whether the mouse is being powered.
9. Turn the mouse over until the on/off light is visible. Confirm that the on/off light is on.
TIP:
The on/off light automatically turns off after ten seconds, although the
mouse is still being powered. If the on/off light is off and you are not
sure whether the mouse is being powered, start again from step 7.
If the on/off light is on, you have successfully powered the mouse.

Solution
• Is the mouse powered? During use, your mouse may accidentally be
switched off, or the batteries may be unexpectedly drained. To power
your mouse, see Powering your mouse on page 2.
• Is there metal between the mouse and the transceiver? Metal can
interfere with the signals between your mouse and your computer. Try
to minimize nearby metal to improve performance.
• Are you using it on an appropriate surface? Your mouse’s optical
laser can be confused by non-repeating patterns, such as text or nonabstract images. Try to use your mouse on a visually simple surface,
such as a mousepad, to improve performance.
• Are you using it on a sloped surface? Your mouse’s optical laser can
be confused if used on a sloped surface. Try to use your mouse on as
flat a surface as possible to improve performance.
• Does the mouse need to be reset? Sometimes, your mouse’s
programming may need to be reset. To reset your mouse’s
programming, turn your mouse off and press the left and right buttons
simultaneously for fifteen seconds. This will reset your mouse’s settings
and may improve performance.
