For PCs using the Windows(R) operating system, the Logitech V270 mouse comes with a version of Logitech(R) SetPoint(TM) software that makes it easy for the mouse to connect to its host computer the first time. Pressing the reset button on the base of the mouse puts the mouse in discovery mode and launches SetPoint software, and an intuitive wizard helps the user establish the connection. On an Apple PowerBook, the mouse can be connected just like any other Bluetooth device by going through the control panel in the operating system and putting the mouse into discovery mode. After it's connected the first time on either a PC or Mac(R), the mouse will automatically reconnect each time the computer starts.
With typical use, the mouse achieves a battery life of up to three months, which can be extended with the mouse's convenient on/off switch. Also, as part of Logitech's smart power management system, the mouse features a low-battery indicator light, helping remove the potential surprise of a dead battery. The Logitech V270 mouse has a 1000 dpi optical engine, providing smooth, precision tracking on a wide variety of surfaces - important for the mobile professional who uses the mouse on the road.
