This section describes basic mouse operations and how to use the wheel button.

Note

The optical mouse may not operate correctly on the following surfaces:

• Transparent surfaces (such as glass)

• Surfaces that reflect light (such as highly polished veneers or mirrors)

• Surfaces with a repetitive pattern, such as screening (like that used for printing photos in magazines and newspapers)

• Surfaces that are striped or have another distinct, high-contrast pattern

If the mouse pointer does not move smoothly across the screen, make sure you are not using the mouse on one of the above mentioned surfaces.

If necessary, you can adjust the mouse pointer speed in the “Mouse Properties” dialog box. To display the “Mouse Properties” dialog box, click “Start”, “Settings”, “Control Panel”, and then double-click “Mouse” (with the Windows XP operating system, select “Printers and Other Hardware” in the “Control Panel”, then select “Mouse”).

Operating distance of the mouse

The mouse can normally be operated within an area having a radius of about one meter around the receiver. Depending on the usage environment, sometimes the usable distance may be shorter, preventing normal operation. In such a case, take the following measures:

• Ensure that the mouse is not closer than 20 cm to the computer, display, and other electronic devices.

• Place the receiver closer to the mouse.

• Use a mouse pad.

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.

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.
