The wireless mouse is very easy to use and allows you to modernize and tidy your workspace by eliminating the need for cords. But if you've never worked with wireless accessories before, setting up a wireless mouse may seem daunting. Ideally, use the instructions that came with your mouse. If there are no instructions, use this guide.

Instructions
Step 1
Locate the battery compartment in the mouse and insert the appropriate batteries. To do this, turn the mouse over, find the cover and slide it. Then install the batteries and replace the cover. The wireless receiver that connects to the computer draws power directly from the computer, so it does not require batteries.
Step 2
Connect the receiver to your computer. It usually connects to a USB port, but some models can also connect to a mouse port. If all of your USB ports are busy, you can use a special adapter that allows you to plug USB devices into the mouse connector. Be careful not to accidentally insert the adapter into the keyboard port.
Step 3
Then connect the mouse to the receiver. As a rule, the receiver must have a clearly visible button for this. A mouse usually has a very small hole with a button inside that hole. This button must be pressed with a pencil, match or paper clip. Find these buttons and press them at the same time (the receiver and mouse should be close to each other). Hold the buttons down for 10 seconds.
Step 4
Place the receiver not too far away from the mouse. Depending on where you are, you can place it on a desk, monitor, system unit, or on the back of your laptop). Keep in mind that the distance between the receiver and the wireless mouse should not be too great.
Step 5
If you connected the device to the mouse port, manually restart the computer. If the mouse was connected to a USB port, you can start using it immediately. As you move the mouse, the cursor should follow it. If not, try moving the receiver to a different location. If it still refuses to work, you may need to restart your computer (if you haven't already) or try to reconnect everything.
