Operating distance of the mouse

The mouse can normally be operated within about a 32 ft. (10 m) radius around
the personal computer. Depending on the usage environment, sometimes the
usable distance may be notably shorter, preventing normal operation.

In such a case, take the following measures:

• Use the mouse as far away from other wireless devices as possible.

• Use the mouse closer to the personal computer.

• Use a mouse pad.

Using the Mouse

When you move the mouse, the pointer displayed on your screen moves in
the same direction. This section describes basic mouse operations.

Notes

• Due to the characteristics of the laser sensor, the mouse may not work
properly on transparent surfaces or on a mouse pad that has a clear surface.
Avoid using on such materials, or use a commercially available mouse pad
that is compatible with a laser sensor mouse.

• The fluoropolymer used for the soles of the mouse (PTFE, or
polytetrafluoroethylene) is designed for low frictional resistance, but the
mouse may slide differently depending on what material your desk or
mousepad is made of.

z Hint

If necessary, you can adjust the mouse pointer speed under “Mouse Properties.”
To display “Mouse Properties” with the Windows 7 operating system, click

Precautions

Safety If any solid object or liquid falls onto the mouse, disconnect

it and have it checked by qualified personnel before
continuing its use.

Location 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

Operation 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.

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.

Cleaning the outside of the mouse

Clean 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.

To remove the built-in rechargeable battery

Notes

• Do not remove the battery, except when disposing of the mouse. If the
battery is accidentally removed, replace it correctly, observing the
polarity mark in the battery compartment.

• Do not use any other battery except this built-in rechargeable battery, and
do not use it with other devices.

1 Open the battery cover on the bottom of the mouse.

2 Pull the battery cover lightly.

How to replace the battery

1 Open the battery cover on the bottom of the mouse.

2 Replace the battery on the tab, matching the polarity

marks in the battery compartment.

Troubleshooting

If you experience any of the following difficulties while using the mouse,
use this troubleshooting guide to solve the problem. If a problem persists,
consult your nearest Sony dealer.

The mouse does not turn on when I slide the power switch to the ON
position.

❒ The mouse built-in battery power is low.

c If the power does not come on when the power switch is set to ON,

charge the battery. For details, see “Charging the Battery”.

Nothing happens when I press a mouse button.

❒ The software is not compatible.

c Use a supported software.

❒ The mouse built-in battery power is low.

c Charge the battery. For details, see “Charging the Battery”.

❒ The mouse and the personal computer are not communicating.

c Perform the steps in “Enabling Communication between the Mouse and

Your Personal Computer” to ensure that proper communication is
possible.

c Turn off the mouse, wait a few seconds, turn on the mouse, and then

reestablish communication.

c In some operating environments, the usable distance may be notably

shorter, preventing normal operation. In such case, use the mouse farther
away from other electronic devices such as other computers and displays.

c If the mouse is too far from your personal computer, communication is

not possible. Bring the mouse and your personal computer closer
together.

❒ The mouse is being used on an unsuitable surface.

c Due to the characteristics of the laser sensor, the mouse may not work

properly on transparent surfaces or on a mouse pad that has a clear
surface. Avoid using on such materials, or use a commercially available
mouse pad that is compatible with a laser sensor mouse.

❒ The CONNECT button is pressed while operating the mouse.

c When the CONNECT button is pressed while operating the mouse, the

mouse goes into a standby state for about 1 minute and cannot be
operated during this time. If you press the CONNECT button, reset the
power switch of the mouse once to ON before beginning operation.

❒ The mouse may have difficulty communicating in an environment with

2.4 GHz wireless LAN or other Bluetooth communication.

c It is best to use the mouse in a location with low interference from

wireless devices.

Pressing the CONNECT button does not establish a connection.

c If the power switch on the mouse is set to OFF, communication with

the personal computer is not possible. Check the power switch setting
on the bottom of the mouse.

c If the power does not come on when the power switch is set to ON, the

mouse built-in battery power may be low. Under normal operating
conditions, a set of batteries lasts about a month. For details, see
“Charging the Battery”.

c Communication between the mouse and your personal computer may

not have been properly established. If the CONNECT button on the
mouse is not pressed within 30 seconds after the Bluetooth device
search begins, mouse communication is canceled. In such a case,
perform the procedure again to enable communication. For details, see
“Enabling Communication between the Mouse and Your Personal
Computer”.

c If the mouse and personal computer are too far apart, communication

is not possible. The maximum communication distance between the
mouse and personal computer is about 10 m (32 ft.). If used on a metal
table or if obstacles lie between the mouse and personal computer, the
usable distance may be less.

c Make sure your personal computer is set as below.
