When cursor movement becomes sluggish and thecommunication distance between the mouse and your notebook decreases,check the low battery lamp on the mouse. Replace the batteries if the lowbattery 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 YourNotebookThe Bluetooth function in Windows XP is used to enable communicationbetween the mouse and your notebook. If your notebook is provided withthe Bluetooth Utility software, use the software to enable communication.z HintOperation of the Bluetooth Utility software may vary depending on yournotebook. For details on how to use the software, refer to the manuals providedwith your notebook.Using the function in Windows XP toenable communication1 Turn your notebook on.2 Set the power switch on the bottom of the mouse to ON.3 Activate the wireless function on your notebook.For details, refer to the operating instructions and manuals providedwith your notebook.4 Click the “Start” button in Windows and select “ControlPanel”.5 Click “Network and Internet Connections”, and click“Bluetooth Devices”.6 Click “Add” under the “Devices” tab.The “Add Bluetooth Device Wizard” appears.7 Press the CONNECT button on the bottom of the mouse.8 Select the “My device is set up and ready to be found.”check box.9 Click “Next”.Search for Bluetooth devices begins.10 Select “VGP-BMS30” from the “Select the Bluetoothdevice that you want to add.” list, and click “Next”.11 Select “Don’t use passkey”, and click “Next”.12 Click “Finish”.Try moving the mouse.

(10 m) radiusaround the notebook. Depending on the usage environment, sometimes theusable 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 notebook.• Use a mouse pad.Using the USB MouseWhen you move the mouse, the pointer displayed on your screen moves inthe same direction.This section describes basic mouse operations and how to use the wheelbutton.Notes• An optical mouse senses mouse movement by using the optical sensor todetect the shadows caused by the red light on the bottom of the mouse. Theoptical 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 forprinting photos in magazines and newspapers)– Surfaces that are striped or have another distinct, high contrast patternIf the mouse pointer does not move smoothly across the screen, make sureyou are not using the mouse on one of the above mentioned surfaces.• The fluoropolymer used for the soles of the mouse (PTFE, orpolytetrafluoroethylene) is designed for low frictional resistance, but themouse may slide differently depending on what material your desk ormousepad is made of.zIf necessary, you can adjust the mouse pointer speed under “Mouse Properties”.To display “Mouse Properties”, 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”).Basic operations1321 Wheel buttonUse the wheel button to easily scroll up and down in a window. You canalso use auto scroll by pressing the wheel button.2 Left buttonUse to open saved documents, pictures and other files and to run programs.Most mouse functions are performed using this button.3 Right buttonUse this button to display shortcut menus that allow you to copy saveddocuments, pictures and other files, view file details, and access variouscommands and settings.PrecautionsSafety If any solid object or liquid falls onto the mouse, disconnectit and have it checked by qualified personnel beforecontinuing 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 coldOperation If the mouse is brought directly from a cold to a warmlocation or is placed in a very damp room, moisture maycondense on the inside of the mouse. 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 notebook, communication speed may be reduced due toelectromagnetic 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. 1.2Position tracking principle Optical sensorResolution 800 counts per inchFrequency band RF 2.4 GHz (Bluetooth)Power requirements 3 V DC (two manganese IEC R6 [size AA]batteries)Transmission distance 32 ft.
