2. If your mouse has a battery, ensure it is fully charged or replace it with a new one.
Step 4: Pair the Mouse with the Unifying Receiver
1. Hold down the pairing button on the bottom of the Unifying receiver for a few seconds. The pairing button is usually marked with a small button icon or the word “Pair.”
