| | Meaning of slow red pulse in W/less Laser Mouse 8000?? As with most of Microsoft's hardware, there never is any literature that fully explains everything. I just bought this as part of Entertainment Desktop 8000 bundle. The mouse uses one rechargeable Energizer battery. If I put the mouse on the recharger it slowly flashes green - charging, which is OK. Then it will start rapidly flashing red, which I believe means fully charged. Within minutes of removing it from the charger it starts slow red flashing, which I take as "battery needs charging" - what gives with this stupid thing? It's actually fully charged because I've taken it out and charged on my own battery charger. -- Peter Toronto, Canada |

Hi, I believe that periodic flashing indicates that it is communicating or maintaining contact with the wireless reciever. -- Best of Luck, Rick Rogers, aka "Nutcase" - Microsoft MVP http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/ Windows help - www.rickrogers.org My thoughts http://rick-mvp.blogspot.com "Peter" <nobody@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:u1lY13RNIHA.1168@xxxxxx Quote: > As with most of Microsoft's hardware, there never is any literature that > fully explains everything.

| | Re: Meaning of slow red pulse in W/less Laser Mouse 8000?? I know this is an old thread, but when my mouse is fully charged, it shows a solid green light. It recently started quickly flashing red which led me here. My investigation seems to indicate that the quick flashing red means the mouse cannot find the bluetooth connection it had (as I had disconnected my bluetooth adapter to use another mouse). After plugging the adapter back in and powering off (then back on) the mouse, I again received a green light from the mouse. I hope this helps!
