Connecting an Onn Wireless Mouse to Your Computer

Onn wireless mice typically connect to a computer using a small USB receiver. Follow these step-by-step instructions to connect your Onn wireless mouse to your computer.

Step 1: Check the Package Contents

• Onn wireless mouse
• USB receiver (sometimes located inside the battery compartment of the mouse)
• Batteries (if not included, you’ll need to purchase them separately, usually AA or AAA)

Step 2: Insert the Batteries into the Mouse

1. Turn your Onn mouse over to find the battery compartment.
2. Slide open the battery compartment cover.
3. Insert the batteries according to the polarity (+/-) markers inside the battery compartment.
4. Replace the battery compartment cover.

Step 3: Connect the USB Receiver to Your Computer

1. Locate an available USB port on your computer.
2. Insert the USB receiver into the USB port. Make sure it’s securely in place.
3. Wait for your computer to recognize the device. You might see a notification or a driver installation message depending on your operating system.

Step 4: Turn On the Mouse

1. Find the On/Off switch on the bottom of the mouse and slide it to the ‘On’ position.
2. Some models may have a connect button that you might have to press for the mouse to communicate with the USB receiver. If this is the case, press the button as instructed by the manual.

Step 5: Test the Mouse

1. Move the mouse around to see if the cursor on the screen responds.
2. If the mouse isn’t working, try removing and re-inserting the USB receiver, checking to make sure the batteries are installed correctly, or replacing them if necessary.
3. Also, ensure there’s no obstruction between the mouse and the receiver. Keep the receiver away from metal objects and electronic devices that can cause interference.

Step 6: Troubleshooting

1. If the mouse still isn’t working, check your computer’s settings to ensure USB ports are active and not disabled.
2. Reboot your computer with the USB receiver plugged in to refresh the connection.
3. Consult the manual for any model-specific troubleshooting steps or contact Onn customer support for assistance.

Step 7: Installing Drivers (If Necessary)

1. Most Onn wireless mice work with the standard drivers provided by your computer’s operating system. However, if your mouse has additional features, you may need to install drivers.
2. Go to the Onn website and look for software or drivers for your specific mouse model.
3. Download and install any recommended software following the on-screen instructions.

Once you’ve completed these steps, your Onn wireless mouse should be connected and working. If you have any further issues, please refer to the user manual or contact Onn’s customer support for help.
