Mouse battery recharging

The mouse uses two AAA size Ni-MH rechargeable batteries. After installation of the fresh
batteries, it is recommended to charge them (place the mouse on the charging stand) for
15 hours to prolong their life. Please, make sure the Charge indicator is ON when you
charge the mouse.

If you feel the wireless mouse does not work smoothly, then the most probable reason is
that the batteries should be rechar ged. Please, put the mouse on the stand to charge them.
Normally it takes 12 hours to get the batteries fully charged.

NOTE: Some computers turn the power of the USB port off in the sleep mode. In this case
the battery won’t be charged. Therefore you would have to k eep your computer always ON
to charge the mouse.
