Operating distance of the mouse
For customers in the U.S.A.
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.
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B
digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to
provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential
installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency
energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may
cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no
guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this
equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which
can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to
try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
Names of Parts
❒ The mouse is being used on an unsuitable surface.
In such a case, take the following measures:
c 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.
• Use the mouse as far away from other wireless devices as possible.
• Use the mouse closer to the personal computer.
• Use a mouse pad.

Pressing the CONNECT button does not establish a connection.
• 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.
You are cautioned that any changes or modifications not expressly approved in
this manual could void your authority to operate this equipment.
c Check whether batteries are inserted in the mouse. For details, see
“Inserting Batteries into the Mouse”.
For questions regarding your product or for the Sony Service Center nearest you,
call 1-888-476-6972 in the United States or 1-800-961-7669 in Canada.
c If the power switch on the mouse is set to OFF, communication with
the personal computer is not possible. Check the power switch setting

Close the battery compartment cover.
Location
Do not place the mouse in a location where it is:
• On an unstable surface
For customers in Europe
Hereby, Sony, declares that this product is in compliance with the essential
requirements and other relevant provisions of Directive 1999/5/EC.
c In some operating environments, the usable distance may be notably
shorter, preventing normal operation. In such case, use the mouse farther
away from other electronic devices such as other computers and displays.
c If the mouse is too far from your personal computer, communication is
not possible. Bring the mouse and your personal computer closer
together.
• In very humid areas or where there is no ventilation
• Subject to excessive dust
• Subject to direct sunlight or extreme heat
• Extremely cold
It also complies with standard EN 60825-1, being classified as a CLASS 1
Laser product.
❒ The mouse is being used on an unsuitable surface.
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.
c 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.
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.
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.

When I am using the mouse, the display goes dark or the personal
computer enters power-saving mode.
To obtain a copy of the Declaration of Conformity (DoC) to the R&TTE
Directive, please access the following URL address.
❒ The personal computer enters power-saving mode even while the
mouse is in use.
Bluetooth communications
c Change the power management settings for the personal computer to
prevent it from entering power-saving mode. For details, refer to the
manuals provided with your personal computer.
c Touch the touchpad or press any key on the keyboard to exit power-
saving mode.
When not using the mouse, set the power switch to OFF. This will make the
batteries last longer.
• 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.
Do not open wireless devices, as opening them, for whatever reason, could
lead to damages that are not covered by the guarantee.
Replacing the batteries
The low battery lamp flashing red indicates that the battery life is running
low. Replace the batteries when this occurs.
Repair and maintenance only by authorized Sony technicians. Improper use
and repairs can create a safety hazard.
The personal computer does not return from Standby mode.
c Touch the touchpad or press any key on the keyboard to exit this mode.
The mouse pointer does not move smoothly across the screen.
In some situations or environments, the use of Bluetooth® wireless
technology might be restricted by the proprietor of the building or
responsible representatives of the organization, for example onboard
airplanes, in hospitals or in any other environment where the risk of
interference with other devices or services is perceived or identified as
harmful.
If you are uncertain of the policy that applies to the use in a specific
organisation or environment, you are encouraged to ask for authorization
to use Bluetooth® wireless technology prior to switching it on.
c 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.
Enabling Communication
between the Mouse and Your
Personal Computer
Exiting power-saving mode with the mouse takes a long time or is not
possible.
c Press any key or the power button on the keyboard.
Use the Bluetooth Utility software installed on your personal computer to
enable communication between the mouse and your personal computer.
Consult your physician or the manufacturer of personal medical devices
(pacemakers, hearing aids, etc.) regarding any restrictions on the use of
Bluetooth® wireless technology.
The mouse does not move smoothly after returning from the power-
saving mode.
z Hint
Cleaning the outside of the mouse
Operation of the Bluetooth Utility software may vary depending on your
personal computer. For details on how to use the software, refer to the manuals
provided with your personal computer.
c Deactivate the Bluetooth connection, wait a few seconds, and then
reestablish connection.
