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 computer.
Use a mouse pad.
Using the USB Mouse
When you move the mouse, the pointer displayed on your screen moves in
the same direction.
This section describes basic mouse operations and how to use the wheel

Notes
An optical mouse senses mouse movement by using the optical sensor to
detect the shadows caused by the red light on the bottom of the mouse. 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.
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.

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 computer, communication speed may be reduced due to
electromagnetic interference, and other unwanted effects may occur.
Please note that due to limitations of the Bluetooth standard, large files
may occasionally be corrupted during continuous transfer due to
electromagnetic interference from the environment.
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.
