Frequently Asked Questions - WM615 DELL

My Bluetooth mouse doesn't connect to my computer after being idle. How do I reconnect my mouse?

Windows 7 and Windows 8 have a known issue with selective power management. Reboot the system or turn your Bluetooth radio off and back on. Also, disable the 'Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power' option in the Bluetooth radio properties. For Windows 10, go to Device Manager, expand Bluetooth, right-click the Dell WM615 radio, select Properties, and on the Power Management tab, uncheck that option.

Why is my Bluetooth mouse slow when reconnecting to my computer, compared to a mouse using a USB 2.0 Nano dongle?

A wireless mouse with a USB dongle uses a dedicated 2.4G connection, making reconnection almost instantaneous. The Dell WM615 uses Bluetooth, sharing the same 2.4G bandwidth with the computer's wireless subsystem, resulting in slower reconnection. During this process, cursor movement may appear erratic until the link is fully established.

How do I pair the Dell WM615 mouse with my computer?

Install two AAA batteries, rotate the key plate clockwise to turn on the mouse. Press the Bluetooth pairing button on the bottom for 3 seconds until the pairing LED blinks white. On your computer, go to Bluetooth settings and select 'Dell WM615 Mouse' from the list of devices, then click Pair.

Can I pair the mouse with multiple computers?

Yes, the mouse can save up to two pairings. To pair a second computer, turn off the first computer, press the pairing button for 3 seconds, and pair with the second. If you pair a third, the oldest pairing is automatically deleted.

How do I switch between paired computers?

Simply turn off the currently connected computer; the mouse will automatically reconnect to the other paired computer (if within range).

What do the LED lights on the mouse indicate?

When you turn on the mouse, the power LED shines white for 3 seconds. If it blinks amber for 30 seconds, the batteries are low. During Bluetooth pairing, the pairing LED blinks white for 1-2 minutes.

How can I extend the battery life of my mouse?

The mouse has a sleep mode that activates after 5 minutes of inactivity. To wake it, move the mouse or click a button. Also, use good quality alkaline batteries and turn off the mouse when not in use by rotating the key plate to the off position.

What should I do if the mouse pointer freezes?

Check battery orientation and charge, replace if needed. Turn the mouse off and on. On your computer, toggle Bluetooth off and on, restart the computer. Ensure no interference from WiFi, USB 3.0 devices, or other wireless devices nearby.

How do I use the scroll touch-strip gestures?

Slide your finger up or down on the touch-strip to scroll. Double-tap the strip to trigger a directional panel for moving direction (e.g., in certain applications).

Is the Dell WM615 compatible with all Windows computers?

It is compatible with Windows 7/8/8.1/10 with Bluetooth 4.0 support. However, for Windows 7, it is only compatible with select Dell computers. Check www.dell.com/support for the latest compatibility list.

Question 2:

Why is my Bluetooth mouse slow when reconnecting to my computer, when compared to my mouse using a USB 2.0 Nano dongle?

Answer:

A wireless mouse using a USB2.0 Nano dongle utilizes a dedicated 2.4G connection between the computer and mouse, making the reconnection almost instantaneous.

Using a Bluetooth connection, the Dell WM615 Bluetooth mouse shares the same 2.4G bandwidth with the Wireless subsystem of the computer making reconnection slower in comparison to a wireless mouse using a 2.0 USB Nano dongle. During this reconnection process, mouse cursor movement could be seen as erratic until the reconnection link is fully established.
