How do I connect a wire;ess mouse

The Logitech M705 connects through a Logitech Unifying USB receiver, not Bluetooth, so it cannot connect to the Dell desktop unless that small receiver is present and plugged into a USB port.^1^

Connect the mouse

1. Turn the mouse over and switch it off.
2. Open the battery compartment.
   • Check for a very small USB receiver stored inside.
   • Also check all packaging; the receiver is easy to overlook.
3. Install or reseat the batteries, close the compartment, and turn the mouse on.
4. Plug the receiver into a USB port on the Dell desktop, preferably a rear USB port.
5. Wait briefly while Windows detects the receiver. The mouse should then begin working automatically. Logitech’s setup guide shows the required receiver-based connection.^2^

Do not try to add this M705 through Settings > Bluetooth & devices > Add device > Bluetooth; this model is not presented as a Bluetooth mouse.

If the receiver is missing

If there is no receiver in the battery compartment or packaging:

• If the mouse was sold as new, contact the retailer and request the missing receiver or exchange the mouse.
• Otherwise, contact Logitech Support for a compatible replacement Unifying receiver and the applicable pairing instructions.^3^
• Do not buy an unspecified generic USB receiver; wireless receivers are not automatically interchangeable.

If a receiver is already connected but the mouse still does not respond, test another USB port and install fresh batteries before contacting Logitech Support.
