Magic Mouse Problems

I have an iMac with the latest OS installed. I have continuing frustrating problem with my magic mouse.

Whenever I loose the magic mouse connection - for whatever reason (low battery, or changing batteries when the computer is one, or when I accidentally shut the mouse button on the bottom of the magic mouse), I CAN NOT get the mouse back unless I reboot my computer

It seems to me that if for whatever reason I try to restore the mouse, it should come back on in a reasonable amount of time.

Needless to say that having to reboot my computer every time the connection is lost and attempted to restore, is totally unsatisfactory.

Is there some special button or procedure I should be using to get the mouse connection back?

According to the instruction book, you may have to tap the mouse once to reestablish the connection when you change batteries. Since you have to turn the mouse off to change the batteries, I assume that you may have to do the same thing when you just turn the mouse off for any reason. I've done numerous battery replacements and that procedure seems to work for me so far
