Part names
Note
The laser light from the lens is invisible. When the mouse is turned on, the lens
part does not light up. This is not a malfunction.
Inserting batteries into the mouse
1 Close the button cover to turn off the mouse.
2 Turn the mouse over to open the battery compartment
cover. Insert the two supplied LR03 (size AAA) batteries
using the correct +/– orientation.
3 Close the battery compartment cover.
z Hint
Under normal operating conditions, a set of alkaline batteries lasts about
one and a half months*. When cursor movement becomes sluggish and the
communication distance between the mouse and your personal computer
decreases, check the status light on the mouse.
When not using the mouse, close the button cover to set the power to off.
This will extends battery life.
* This estimate is based on five hours of use per day, five days per week.
These could be different depending on the usage environment.
Replacing the batteries
The status light flashing orange indicates that the battery life is running
low. Replace the batteries when this occurs.
Enabling communication
between the mouse and your
personal computer
Use the Bluetooth software installed on your personal computer to enable
communication between the mouse and your personal computer.
Note
Activate the Bluetooth software on your personal computer. Operation of the
Bluetooth software may vary depending on your personal computer.
For details, refer to the manuals provided with your personal computer.
The setup instructions vary based on your operating system and you are
directed to corresponding steps.
If your computer is pre-installed with Windows XP, go
directly to the instructions in Case C.
If your computer is pre-installed with Windows Vista, follow
these steps (In certain situations, you may be directed to the
instructions in Case A or Case B, depending on the Bluetooth window
displayed):
1 Click (Start), then “Control Panel.”
2 Click the “Hardware and Sound” icon.
3 If the “Bluetooth Devices” icon is in the “Hardware and
Sound” window:
Go to step 4.
If the “Bluetooth Devices” icon is not visible in the
“Hardware and Sound” window:
Close the “Control Panel” and go to Case C.
4 Click the “Bluetooth Devices” icon, and verify the
contents of the window displayed.
Note
If you switch to Classic View, double-click the “Bluetooth Devices” icon.

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.

may be affected. The maximum communication distance between the
mouse and the personal computer is about a
10 m (32 ft.)
. If used on a
metal table or if obstacles are between the mouse and the personal
computer, the usable distance may be less. Connect the mouse and the
personal computer as close is practically possible.
Depending on usage environment, communication distance may
decrease, and improper operation may result. In such a case, keep other
electronic equipment away from the host field.
The scrolling features do not work.
Your computer’s operating system may not be compatible with this
equipment.
c Use a supported operating system.
The program you are using is not compatible with the scrolling

characteristics of the mouse’s laser sensor.
c Avoid using on such materials, or use a commercially-available mouse
pad that is compatible with a laser sensor mouse.
Your mouse may be experiencing interference from other Bluetooth
devices that are connected to your computer.
c Disconnect them all once, wait a few seconds, then connect them again.
Exiting power saving mode with the mouse is not possible.
Press any key on the keyboard.
The mouse does not move smoothly after returning from the power-
saving mode.
Deactivate the Bluetooth connection, wait a few seconds, and then
reestablish connection.

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.
