TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
Penguin (wired version)
• Make sure your Penguin is rmly plugged into your computer’s USB port
• Try using a different USB port. If possible plug it directly into the computer
i.e. not through any monitors/keyboards/hubs etc.
• Although your Penguin is plug & play, it is worth making sure your
computer is up to date with the latest drivers/operating software for
pointing devices
• Check that the sensor on the underside of the Penguin isn’t covered and
has a clear line of sight to the surface below. Also check that your Penguin
has not been dropped which could dislodge the laser.
• Try using the Penguin on a mouse mat / non-reective surface
• Close your computer down and reboot
Penguin (wireless version)
Note: USB is found inside compartment on Penguin base.
• Make sure that the Penguin is charged via the USB/DC charging cable.
• Make sure the ON/OFF switch on the underside of the base is in ‘ON’
position (rechargeable models only)
• Make sure your Penguin’s dongle (micro receiver) is rmly plugged in to
your computer’s USB port
• Try unplugging the Penguin dongle (micro receiver), then plugging it back
in again
• Try holding the Penguin close to the sensor for 30 seconds whilst
intermittently clicking the top button – it sometimes takes this to get the
dongle to recognise the hardware
• Try using a different USB port to connect your Penguin. If possible plug it
directly into the computer, i.e. not through any monitors/keyboards/hubs
etc.
• Remove the USB Dongle and turn ‘OFF’ the Penguin switch. Reboot
your computer. Now re-insert USB dongle, wait 10/15 seconds and turn
Penguin switch back ‘ON’
• Although your Penguin is plug & play, it is worth making sure your
computer is up to date with the latest drivers / operating software for
pointing devices
• Check that the sensor on the underside of the Penguin isn’t covered and
has a clear line of sight to the surface below. Also check that your Penguin
has not been dropped which could dislodge the laser
• Try using the Penguin on a mouse mat / unreective surface
• Make sure the charging cable is rmly attached into the USB port of your
computer and the DC end is rmly pushed into the front of the Penguin.
The ‘P’ Logo should light an orange colour. Recharge directly via a USB
port on your computer NOT via a multi-USB hub.
• Try your Penguin mouse on a different PC/laptop to check if the issue is
still present.
If you attempt all of the above suggestions and still there appears to be a
problem, please contact your supplier.
