Names of Parts
Inserting Batteries into the
Mouse
1Set the power switch located on the bottom of the
mouse to OFF.
2Open the battery compartment cover and insert the two
supplied IEC R6 (size AA) 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
three months. When cursor movement becomes sluggish and the
communication distance between the mouse and your personal computer
decreases, check the low battery lamp on the mouse. Replace the batteries if
the low battery lamp is flashing red.
When not using the mouse, set the power switch to OFF. This will make the
batteries last longer.
Replacing the batteries
The low battery lamp flashing red 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 Utility or WIDCOMM Bluetooth Software installed on
your personal computer to enable communication between the mouse and
your personal computer.
Note
Make sure that the Bluetooth function on your personal computer is activated.
For details, refer to the manuals provided with your personal computer.

Operating distance of the mouse
The mouse can normally be operated within about a 32 ft. (10 m) radius around
the personal computer. Depending on the usage environment, sometimes the
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 personal computer.
•Use a mouse pad.
Using the Mouse
When you move the mouse, the pointer displayed on your screen moves in
the same direction. This section describes basic mouse operations.
Notes
• Due to the characteristics of the laser sensor, the mouse may not work
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 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.
z
If necessary, you can adjust the mouse pointer speed under “Mouse Properties”. To
display “Mouse Properties”, with the Windows Vista operating system, double-
click “Mouse” in the “Control Panel” (with the Windows XP operating system,
select “Printers and Other Hardware” in the “Control Panel”, then select “Mouse”).

documents, pictures and other files, view file details, and access various
commands and settings.
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.
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.
