Inserting Batteries into the Mouse1 Set the power switch located on the bottom of themouse to OFF.2 Open the battery compartment cover and insert the twosupplied IEC R6 (size AA) batteries with the correct + -orientation.NoteTo prevent battery fluid leaks and damage, observe the followingprecautions:• 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 buttonswhen replacing the batteries.3 Close the battery compartment cover.zUnder normal operating conditions, a set of alkaline batteries lasts aboutthree months. When cursor movement becomes sluggish and thecommunication distance between the mouse and your personal computerdecreases, check the low battery lamp on the mouse. Replace the batteries ifthe low battery lamp is flashing red.When not using the mouse, set the power switch to OFF. This will make thebatteries last longer.Replacing the batteriesThe low battery lamp flashing red indicates that the battery life is runninglow. Replace the batteries when this occurs.Enabling Communicationbetween the Mouse and YourPersonal ComputerUse the Bluetooth software installed on your personal computer to enablecommunication between the mouse and your personal computer.NoteMake sure that the Bluetooth software on your personal computer is activated.For details, refer to the manuals provided with your personal computer.Before you startNoteOperation of the Bluetooth software may vary depending on your personalcomputer.

If this occurs, themouse may not work properly.In this case, wait about 30 minutes for the moisture toevaporate. If the mouse does not work properly after onehour, consult your nearest Sony dealer.Bluetooth communications• The 2.4 GHz band used by Bluetooth and wireless LAN devices is alsoused by various other devices. Bluetooth devices incorporate technologythat minimizes interference from other devices using the samewavelength. However, communication speed and achievable distancesmay be reduced. Interference from other devices can also stopcommunications altogether.• The data transfer rate will vary depending on distance and obstaclesbetween devices, device configuration, radio interference, operatingsystem, software application, and so on. In some cases, communicationmay be interrupted.• Communication range will vary according to whether walls or otherobstacles are located between devices, the material used in walls, thepresence of radio frequency interference and other environmentalconditions, and the type of software being used.• If wireless LAN and Bluetooth functionality are used at the same time onthe same personal computer, communication speed may be reduced dueto electromagnetic interference, and other unwanted effects may occur.Cleaning the outside of the mouseClean the mouse with a soft, dry cloth or a soft cloth lightly moistened witha mild detergent solution. Do not use any type of abrasive pad, scouringpowder, or solvent such as alcohol or benzine.SpecificationsCommunication method Bluetooth Standard Ver. 2.0+EDRPosition tracking principle Laser sensorResolution 800 counts per inchFrequency band RF 2.4 GHz (Bluetooth)Power requirements 3 V DC (two alkaline IEC R6 [size AA]batteries)Transmission distance 32 ft.
