What's the trick to make Microsoft Bluetooth Mouse 5000 "discoverable"?

Hello

Maybe it's a bit off-topic, but I tried to get my Microsoft Bluetooth Mouse 5000 works with Windows 7 and had a question about the mouse is.

I know that to make it discoverable, you press and hold the button at the bottom and on the top light is supposed to blink red and green.

In my case, when I do that, most of the time, the light on top of the mouse will turn on/green, for a few seconds, and then turn off.

I have to go through the power of stop/start / hold cycle several times until I can get the light flashes green/red continuously.

Even with a new set of batteries...

So, I was wondering, by the subject: is there some 'trick' to get the mouse to advance in discoverable mode with blinking green/red?

Thank you
Jim

Hello

Just after my last post, I think I found just the "top secret" handshake :)...

For the record:

(1) when you turn on the mouse, the light on top of the mouse (green).  It doesn't turn on immediately, but takes a second or so.

(2) AFTER the light turns green, THEN press and hold down the button on the bottom, until the light on top starts to blink green/red, which indicates that the mouse is discoverable.

I tried the procedure above several times now and have been able to get the mouse in discoverable mode successfully every time.

I think that what I was doing wrong before, it was only I pressing me the button immediately after turn the mouse (that is, in particular, probably before the green light came).

I hope this helps someone in the future!

Jim
