Frequently Asked Questions - M6000 Cherry

How to install the Cherry M6000 mouse on my PC?
Connect the USB receiver to your PC (or via PS/2 adapter after turning off the PC). Insert the batteries into the mouse. The system detects the mouse automatically. For advanced features, insert the provided CD and follow the software installation instructions.
What types of batteries can I use with the M6000 mouse?
You can use two standard AA batteries or rechargeable batteries of the same size. For optimal battery life, prefer alkaline batteries.
How to activate the power saving function?
Remove the batteries, hold down the left mouse button and the Start button (left side button) simultaneously, then reinsert the batteries. The mouse will enter sleep mode after 15 minutes of inactivity. After changing batteries, reactivate this function.
Why doesn't my mouse work after changing the batteries?
If you have activated individual signal transmission (multi-mouse mode), you must reactivate it after each battery change. Briefly press the button on the receiver, then press the button on the back of the mouse with a pointed object.
Can I use multiple Cherry wireless mice in the same room?

What to do if the mouse cursor is slow or imprecise?
Make sure to use the mouse on a light and textured surface. Avoid reflective surfaces (glass, mirror). Also check the battery status: weak batteries can reduce precision.

Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the surface. Never use liquids or abrasive products. The optical sensor does not require cleaning, but you can gently blow to remove dust.
Is the mouse compatible with Windows 10?
