Maintenance Features

Battery Management:

  • Keyboard: Uses AA alkaline batteries. The user guide advises checking battery installation and replacing them as needed.

    • Recharging: The mouse can be recharged using the supplied AC adapter or by connecting it directly to a computer's USB port using the provided USB cable.
    • Usage during recharge: The mouse can be used immediately out of the box and continues to function while recharging, ensuring no downtime.
    • Battery Indicator: The mouse's battery-indicator light blinks red when recharging is required. It blinks green while charging and turns solid green when fully recharged.
    • Charging Time: A full charge takes approximately 7 hours and provides about 6 weeks of battery power. A minimum charge of about 15 minutes provides one day of battery power.
    • Intelligent Charging System: The system allows for partial charging sessions without damaging the battery.
    • Battery Replacement: Only use NiMH replacement batteries of size AA R6 with a minimum of 1800 mA. There is a caution against the risk of explosion if the battery is replaced by an incorrect type; always use the same type and rating as the battery provided. Charge only with a standard USB power outlet.

Troubleshooting:

The guide provides solutions for common issues:

  • Device Not Working:
    • Power Check: Ensure the power switch on both the keyboard and mouse is in the "ON" position. The battery LED should light green.
    • USB Port Connection: Try changing USB ports. If using a desktop PC, try the front USB port. Remove any metal objects between the mini-receiver and the devices that might interfere with reception.
    • Proximity: Move the keyboard and mouse closer to the USB mini-receiver.
  • Slow or Jerky Cursor Movement:
    • Surface Check: Try using the mouse on a different surface. Deep or dark surfaces may affect cursor movement.
  • Re-establishing Connection: If devices lose connection, you may need to re-establish it:
    • Press the Reset button on the mini-receiver.
    • Slide the ON/OFF button on the device (keyboard or mouse) to "OFF" and then back to "ON".

The user's guide emphasizes installing the Logitech® SetPoint™ Software to fully utilize and customize all features of the keyboard and mouse. It also directs users to the Logitech website for additional information on product usage and ergonomics.
