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.
Nothing happens when I press a mouse button.
❒The receiver is not connected properly to the USB port.
cClose all programs, and then reconnect the receiver to your
computer.
❒The operating system is not compatible.
cUse a supported operating system.
❒The USB port is not available.
cCheck the “System Properties” of your computer.
❒The mouse batteries are drained.
c If the power does not come on when the power/mode switch is set
to either MOUSE (mouse mode) or P (presentation mode), replace
the batteries. For details, see “Preparations”.
❒The mouse and receiver are not communicating.
c Perform steps 1 and 2 of “Enabling communication between the
mouse and receiver” to ensure that proper communication is
possible.
c In some operating environments, the usable distance may be notably
shorter, preventing normal operation. Ensure that the receiver is not
closer than 8 in. (20 cm) to the computer, the display, and other
electronic devices.
cIf the mouse is too far from the receiver, communication is not
possible. Bring the mouse and receiver closer together.
❒The mouse is being used on an unsuitable surface.
cWhen used on a mirror, glass, or other shiny surface, or on a
transparent or strongly patterned surface, the sensor on the bottom
of the mouse may not be able to correctly detect the mouse
movements. On such surfaces, use a mouse pad.
❒The mouse may have difficulty communicating in a 2.4 GHz wireless
LAN environment.
cIt is best to use the mouse in a location with low interference from
wireless devices.
Pressing the Connect button does not establish a connection.
cCheck whether batteries are inserted in the mouse. For details, see
“Preparations”.
cIf the power/mode switch on the mouse is set to OFF,
communication with the receiver is not possible. Check the power/
mode switch setting on the bottom of the mouse.
cIf the power does not come on when the power/mode switch is set to
either mouse mode or presentation mode, the batteries may be
drained. Under normal operating conditions, a set of alkaline
batteries lasts about three months. Replace the batteries. For details,
see “Preparations”.
cCommunication between the mouse and receiver may not have been
properly established. If the CONNECT button on the mouse is not
pressed within 30 seconds of pressing the Connect button on the
receiver, the receiver cancels communication. In such a case perform
the procedure again to enable communication. For details, see
“Enabling communication between the mouse and receiver”.
cIf the mouse and receiver are too far apart, communication is not
possible. The maximum communication distance between the mouse
and receiver is about 32 ft. (10 m). If used on a metal table or if
