To prevent battery fluid leaks and damage, observe the following precautions:
• Insert the batteries with the correct +/– orientation.
• Do not charge dry cell batteries.
• Do not mix old and new batteries, or batteries of a different type.
• If the mouse has not been used for a long time, remove the batteries.
• If a battery fluid leak occurs, carefully wipe the battery compartment, and
insert new batteries.
• To prevent accidental operation, be careful not to press any buttons when
replacing the batteries.
If any solid object or liquid falls onto the mouse, disconnect it and have it
checked by qualified personnel before continuing its use.
Do not place the mouse in a location where it is:
• On an unstable surface
• In very humid areas or where there is no ventilation
• Subject to excessive dust
• Subject to direct sunlight or extreme heat
• Extremely cold
If the mouse is brought directly from a cold to a warm location or is placed in a
very damp room, moisture may condense on the inside of the mouse. If this
occurs, the mouse may not work properly.
In this case, wait about 30 minutes for the moisture to evaporate. If the mouse
does not work properly after one hour, consult your nearest Sony dealer.

q; POWER switch
qa CONNECT button
qs Status light
The status light flashing slowly indicates that the battery life is running
low. In addition, number of blinking of status light indicates current
operation mode or setting status.
Inserting batteries into the mouse
1 Slide the POWER switch located on the right side of the

Precautions
Bluetooth communications
• The 2.4 GHz band used by Bluetooth and wireless LAN devices is also
used by various other devices. Bluetooth devices incorporate technology
that minimizes interference from other devices using the same
wavelength. However, communication speed and achievable distances
may be reduced. Interference from other devices can also stop
communications altogether.
• The data transfer rate will vary depending on distance and obstacles
between devices, device configuration, radio interference, operating
system, software application, and so on. In some cases, communication
may be interrupted.
• Communication range will vary according to whether walls or other
obstacles are located between devices, the material used in walls, the
presence of radio frequency interference and other environmental
conditions, and the type of software being used.
• If wireless LAN and Bluetooth functionality are used at the same time on
the same personal computer, communication speed may be reduced due
to electromagnetic interference, and other unwanted effects may occur.
Care of mouse
Clean the outside of the mouse with a soft, dry cloth or a soft cloth lightly
moistened with a mild detergent solution. Do not use any type of abrasive
pad, scouring powder, or solvent such as alcohol or benzine.
