Once Bluetooth is enabled on your computer, it will start searching for nearby devices. Press the “connect” button on your Logitech wireless mouse to put it in pairing mode. Your computer should detect the mouse and prompt you to enter a passcode. Follow the instructions on your screen to complete the pairing process.
Download Logitech Options Software

This software allows you to customize your mouse and access advanced features. You can download the software from the Logitech website.
