What do the battery indication lights mean?

Some keyboard and mouse models feature a battery light that shows the current status of the batteries. The following table describes the different lights and states.

Light / Device Model / Status
Single long green blink / Rechargeable / Batteries are good. This occurs when batteries are first installed or every time that the device is turned on.
Slow green blink / Rechargeable / Device is docked in the charging station and is charging properly.
Steady green / Rechargeable / Device is docked in the charging station and does not need additional charging.
Steady green / Presenter Mouse
(Japanese version) / Laser pointer is on.
Red/green blink / Wireless / Device is discoverable (trying to connect to the transceiver).
Slow red blink / Non-rechargeable / Batteries are low and need to be replaced.
Slow red blink / Rechargeable / Batteries are low and need recharging.
Fast red blink / Rechargeable / Device is docked in the charging station, but there is a charging error.
Reasons for errors: The wrong type of battery is installed; the battery or batteries are missing; or the battery connection is bad.
Solutions: Make sure that the correct battery or batteries are installed, and are installed correctly. If necessary, remove the batteries, wipe them with a clean cloth, and reinsert them.
