Notes
• The laser light from the lens part is invisible. When the mouse is set to ON, the
lens part doesn’t light up. This is not a malfunction.
•Do not look directly into the lens part. The laser light may cause eye injury.
Inserting Batteries into the Mouse
1Close the button cover and set the power to OFF.
2Open the battery compartment cover and insert the two
supplied R03 (size AAA) batteries with the correct + -
orientation.
Note
To prevent battery fluid leaks and damage, observe the following
precautions:
•Insert the batteries with the correct + - orientation.
•Do not charge dry cell batteries.
•Do not mix old and new batteries, or batteries of a different type.
•If the mouse has not been used for a long time, remove the batteries.
•If a battery fluid leak occurs, carefully wipe the battery compartment,
and insert new batteries.
•To prevent accidental operation, be careful not to press any buttons
when replacing the batteries.
3Close the battery compartment cover.
z
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 lamp on the mouse. Replace the batteries if the
status lamp is flashing orange.
When not using the mouse, close the button cover and set the power switch
to OFF. This will make the batteries last longer.
*Based on an average usage of five hours a day, five days a week, and
varies depending on usage environment. Battery life may become shorter
depending on the surface of a desk, and the material or color of the mouse
pad.
Replacing the batteries
The status lamp flashing orange indicates that the battery life is
running low. Replace the batteries when this occurs.

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.

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 laser does not light up when I set the power switch to ON.

move when I move the mouse.
❒The operating system is not compatible.
cUse a supported operating system.
❒The mouse is not set to ON.
cIf the mouse is set to OFF, the mouse and your personal computer are not
communicating. Open the button cover and set the power switch to ON.
cWith sufficient the battery power, if you set the power switch to ON,
after a few seconds, the status lamp lights green momentarily. If not,
there are no batteries in the mouse, or the batteries are exhausted. Insert
new batteries. For details, see “Inserting Batteries into the Mouse.”
❒The mouse and the personal computer are not communicating.
c For details, see “Cannot connect to the personal computer./When

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 3 minutes and cannot be
operated during this time. If you press the CONNECT button, reset the
power 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.
c Processing performed by Windows or other software may temporarily
disable the mouse. Wait a few moments for the processing to finish
before using the mouse.
c You may find some useful solutions in your personal computer’s operating
instructions. Refer to the manuals provided with your personal computer.
Cannot connect to the personal computer./When connecting the mouse
to the personal computer, the mouse is not found when the Bluetooth
device search is performed.
❒The mouse is not set to ON.
c If the mouse is set to OFF, the mouse and your personal computer are not
communicating. Open the button cover and set the power switch to ON.
c With sufficient the battery power, if you set the power switch to ON,
after a few seconds, the status lamp lights green momentarily. If not,
there are no batteries in the mouse, or the batteries are exhausted. Insert

may be affected. The maximum communication distance between the
mouse and the personal computer is about a 32 fit. (10 m). 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.
cDepending 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.
