GE Wireless Optical Mini Mouse Step-by-Step Setup (12 Steps)
By Melissa King
Your GE wireless optical mini mouse features a contoured design, smooth scroll wheel and an Office Selector feature that helps you open Microsoft programs with the click of a button. This feature comes in handy if you frequently use programs such as Microsoft Word or Internet Explorer. The mouse requires batteries to operate, but you can recharge the device by connecting it to your computer with the included USB cable. To set up the mouse, insert the batteries, link it to the receiver and install the Office Selector software.
