The Logitech® Unifying receiver
Plug it. Forget it. Add to it.
Your new Logitech product ships with a Logitech® Unifying receiver. Did you know you can add a compatible Logitech wireless device that uses the same receiver as your current Logitech Unifying product?
Are you Unifying-ready?
If you have a Logitech wireless device that’s Unifying-ready, you can pair it with additional Unifying devices. Just look for the orange Unifying logo on the new device or its packaging. Build your ideal combo. Add something. Replace something. It’s easy, and you’ll use only one USB port for up to six devices.
Getting started is easy
If you’re ready to pair your device(s) via Unifying, here’s what you need to do:
- Make sure your Unifying receiver is plugged in.
- If you haven’t already, download the Logitech® Unifying software from www.logitech.com/unifying.
- Start the Unifying software* and follow the onscreen instructions to pair the new wireless device with your existing Unifying receiver.
*Go to Start / All Programs / Logitech / Unifying / Logitech Unifying Software
Help with setup: Mouse not working

FAQ – Frequently Asked Questions
Scrolling issues with Windows 8.1 Consumer Preview version
Initial testing with Windows 8.1 Consumer Preview version reveals a scrolling issue with IE11 and Windows 8 apps, as well as on the Windows Start screen itself:
– Moderate to fast scrolling can become unresponsive until you stop scrolling. Then, the page will jump a long distance, usually to either the beginning or the end.
We’re working with Microsoft to resolve this issue.
As a workaround, you can modify your scrolling settings in IE11. Here’s how:
1. Launch IE11.
2. Open Internet Options and select the Advanced tab.
3. In the Browsing section, clear “Use smooth scrolling”.
4. In the Security section, clear “Enable Enhanced Protected Mode”, and then click OK.
IMPORTANT: Disabling Enhanced Protected Mode degrades the security settings in IE11. Please consider this before you make this change.
5. Restart your computer.

Wireless product not working properly when also using a USB 3.0 device
When using a USB 2.0 2.4GHz wireless peripheral device (such as a mouse, keyboard, or headphones) with a PC that also has a USB 3.0 peripheral device plugged in, you may experience erratic operation caused by interference. This is especially likely to happen when using USB 3.0 remote hard drives or flash drives.
This interference may result in:
– Delayed response to mouse or keyboard inputs
– Missing keyboard characters or mouse commands
– Decreased operating distance between the USB 2.0 wireless device and its receiver
There are some techniques that can help early adopters of USB 3.0 to mitigate potential problems with their existing 2.4GHz wireless devices:
– If your PC has multiple USB 2.0 connectors available, separate your USB 3.0 and USB 2.0 receivers by as much distance as possible. For example, if your PC has a choice of USB 2.0 connectors, use the one on the opposite side of the PC from the USB 3.0 connector.
– Position your USB 2.0 receiver as close as possible to your wireless peripheral (mouse, keyboard, headphones, etc.).
– Use a standard, USB-extender cable to position your USB 2.0 wireless receiver as far away as possible from your USB 3.0 connector.
A USB-extender cable is available for Logitech customers who are experiencing this problem (click here for more information).
NOTE: A USB 3.0 connector sometimes referred to as Super Speed USB or SS, normally has a blue plastic insert in the connector. Unlike a USB 2.0 connector which has 4 pins within the connector, a USB 3.0 connector has 9 pins.
Move your USB 2.0 wireless receiver to the opposite side of your computer:
Make sure your USB 2.0 wireless receiver is in the USB 2.0 connector closest to your wireless peripheral:
Use a USB extended cable to position your wireless receiver as far away from your USB 3.0 peripheral as possible:

M525 battery life and replacement
Battery information
– Requires 2 AA alkaline batteries
– Expected battery life is up to 36 months (3 years)
Checking battery status
You can check your mouse’s battery status using the Logitech SetPoint mouse and keyboard software. See answer 360023405953 for instructions.
Installing new batteries
When you install new batteries, make sure they are facing the correct direction as shown:
Extending battery life
Your mouse enters standby mode to conserve power when not in use. For best battery performance:
– Use only alkaline batteries. Non-alkaline batteries (such as NiMHor NiCd) operate at a lower voltage and may affect the battery life.
– Avoid using your mouse on dark or transparent surfaces, such as glass. These surfaces cause the optical sensor to use more power.
– Make sure replacement batteries are new and within the manufacturer’s expiration date.
– Don’t mix old and new batteries.
Using the M525 with a different USB receiver
Your M525 mouse ships with the Unifying receiver:
You can connect your mouse to any receiver that displays this Unifying logo:
NOTE:
Although a device may be supported by the Unifying receiver, SetPoint and/or Logitech Control Center (LCC) support depends on the specific product.
Purchasing a replacement Unifying receiver for the M525 mouse
Your M525 mouse is a Unifying device that can be used with any Unifying receiver. If you’ve lost or damaged the receiver, you can purchase a replacement from the M525 Parts Store.
The mouse won’t work with a non-Unifying receiver. To be sure you have the right receiver, look for this Unifying logo:
Unifying receiver storage in the M525 mouse
Your mouse was designed with a space where you can store the Unifying receiver. When you’re not using the mouse, you can store the receiver inside of it.
To locate the storage space for a Unifying receiver in your mouse:
1. Flip the mouse over and slide the battery cover off.
2. Locate the small rectangular slot next to the battery compartment.
3. Slide the receiver into the slot. It will fit facing either way.
4. Replace the battery cover.
TIP: If you have an extra receiver from any Logitech Unifying device you aren’t currently using, this is a great place to store it.
M525 battery light doesn’t stay on
The green battery light in the center of your M525 mouse isn’t meant to stay on. This is the normal behavior of the mouse.
When you turn your mouse on or replace the batteries, the light will come on for a few seconds. This indicates that the battery has enough charge for your mouse to work.
The light will go off after a few seconds to conserve battery power.
Customizing the M525 mouse with Logitech SetPoint software
Follow these links to learn how you can customize your M525 mouse using Logitech SetPoint mouse and keyboard software:
NOTE:
– If you don’t already have the software installed, you can download SetPoint.

2. Locate the power switch on the bottom.
3. Slide the switch to the right to turn it ON.
4. Slide the switch to the left to turn it OFF.
Tracking light not visible on the M525 mouse
Your mouse uses an infrared (IR) light that is invisible to the human eye. This means you won’t be able to see the light emitting from the bottom of your mouse.
If you’re not sure whether your mouse is powered on, check the ON/OFF switch located on the bottom. When your mouse is:
ON — The switch is pushed over to the right and you see green next to it.
OFF — The switch is pushed over to the left and you see red next to it.
M525 mouse is not working or frequently loses connection
– Mouse isn’t working
– Mouse frequently loses connection
Mouse isn’t working
If your M525 mouse isn’t working, the problem is likely a lost connection. The connection between the mouse and the Unifying receiver can be lost for several reasons, such as:
– Low battery levels
– Moving the receiver from one USB port to another
– Moving the receiver to another computer
– Plugging the receiver into a USB hub, KVM switch or other unsupported device (NOTE: Your Unifying receiver must be plugged directly into your computer.)
Using your wireless mouse on metal surfaces
– Radio frequency (RF) interference from other sources, such as:
– Wireless speakers
– Computer power supplies
– Monitors
– Cell phones
– Garage door openers
Before connecting your M525:
1. Fix or rule out the potential problems listed above.
2. Turn your computer on.
3. Insert fresh batteries in your mouse (see answer 360023405233 for instructions).
4. Plug the Unifying receiver directly and securely into a working USB port on your computer.
5. Turn on your mouse (the power switch is on the bottom of the mouse).
The power indicator on top should turn green for a few seconds, letting you know there is enough charge for the mouse to work. The light then goes out to conserve battery power.
Reconnecting your M525
NOTE: These instructions use Windows screenshots. Macintosh will look slightly different, but the instructions are the same.
1. Download and install the latest software from the M525 Downloads Page.
2. Launch the Logitech Unifying Software.
– Windows: Start > Programs > Logitech > Unifying > Logitech Unifying Software
– Macintosh: Applications / Utilities / Logitech Unifying Software
3. Click Next at the bottom of the Welcome screen.
4. Follow the on-screen instructions to turn your mouse off and then back on.
5. When your mouse is detected, you’ll see this window:
Select Yes and then click Next.
6. Click Finish to exit the Logitech Unifying Software. Your mouse should now be connected.
Mouse frequently loses connection
If your mouse frequently stops working and you keep having to reconnect it with the Unifying receiver, try these suggestions:
– Keep other electrical devices at least 8 inches (20 cm) away from the Unifying receiver
– Move the mouse closer to the Unifying receiver
– Move the receiver to a different USB port on your computer
Supported operating systems for the M525 mouse
The M525 mouse is supported on:
– Windows 7
– Windows XP
– Windows Vista
– Macintosh 10.5 +
– Linux Kernel 2.6+
NOTE: The M525 is not supported on Windows 98, Windows ME, Windows 2000, and UNIX.
Cursor does not follow mouse movements
If the cursor isn’t following the movements of your mouse, we suggest you:
1. Use a mouse pad.
2. Avoid using your mouse on:
– Glass and other see-through surfaces
– Reflective surfaces, such as mirrors and metal desks
– Wood grains and grooved surfaces
3. Try the mouse on a piece of white paper to make sure it isn’t a tracking issue on the particular surface you’re using.
Operating distance between the mouse or keyboard and USB receiver
In an ideal environment, a Unifying or non-Unifying device can operate up to 30 feet (10 meters) away from its receiver (shown below) in a clear line of sight.
If you’re not getting this distance, try these suggestions:
– Replace the battery/batteries or make sure your mouse or keyboard is fully charged
– Move devices that emit radio waves or could cause radio interference away from your work area (Examples: cell phones, radios, wireless routers, microwaves)
To determine if your environment is shortening your operating range, try using your device in a different environment to see if the distance improves. If it does, look for other possible sources of interference you can remove from your work area.

Mouse doesn’t display in LCC and can’t be programmed for Mac
This mouse model isn’t supported by the Logitech Control Center (LCC) for Macintosh, but might still work as a basic mouse on a Mac.
If a device is programmable, the LCC for Mac will display the image for that device. Because this mouse isn’t supported, the image won’t display in the LCC and you won’t be able to program it there.
If a device is not supported in the LCC, there won’t be an image for it.
