Notes on use

  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 commercial y-available mouse pad 

that is compatible with a laser sensor mouse.

  The mouse can normal y be operated within about a 10 m (32 ft.) radius 

around the receiver. 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 receiver.

  The mouse contains magnets. Do not place magnetic recording media 

(magnetic stripe cards, credit cards, etc.) or recording devices (hard drives, 

etc.) near the mouse. Otherwise it may cause a malfunction.

*     This estimate is based on five hours of use per day, five days per week. 

These could be different depending on the usage environment.

**   This unit does not support communication with wireless LAN and 

BLUETOOTH®.

conditions such as radio frequency interference, and the software 

program used.

Design and specifications are subject to change without notice.

Troubleshooting
If you are not able to locate a solution in this section, contact a Sony authorized 

dealer.
Nothing happens when I press a mouse button.

  The receiver is not connected properly to the USB port.

Close all programs, and then reconnect the receiver to your computer.

  The operating system is not compatible.

Use a supported operating system.

  The USB port is not available.

Check the “System Properties” of your personal computer.

  The mouse battery is drained.

If the status lamp does not light when the mouse is turned on, replace the 

battery. For details, see “Preparations”.

  The mouse and receiver are not communicating.

–  Perform steps of “Connecting the mouse with the receiver” to ensure that 

proper communication is possible.

–  In some operating environments, the usable distance may be notably shorter, 

preventing normal operation. In such a case, use the mouse farther away from 

other electronic devices such as other computers and displays.

–  If the mouse is too far from the receiver, communication is not possible. Bring 

the mouse and receiver closer together.

  The mouse may have difficulty communicating in a 2.4 GHz wireless LAN 

environment.

It is best to use the mouse in a location with low interference from wireless 

devices.

The scrolling features do not work.

  The operating system is not compatible.

Use a supported operating system.

  The program you are using is not compatible with the scrolling features.

–  The scrolling features only work with programs that use a scroll function.

–  Some programs do not support the scrolling features.

  After the receiver was installed, the computer was returned to normal mode from 

power-saving mode.

Disconnect the receiver from the USB port, wait a few seconds, and then 

reconnect it.

The pointer does not move when I move the mouse.

  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.

  You may find some useful solutions in your computer’s operating instructions. 

Refer to the manuals provided with your computer.

  Also see “Nothing happens when I press a mouse button.”

The mouse pointer does not move smoothly across the screen.

  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. A commercial y-available mouse pad that is compatible with a 

laser sensor mouse is recommended.

  Due to the characteristics of its laser sensor, if dust attaches to the bottom of the 

mouse, the mouse may not work properly. In this case, remove the dust with a 

dry cotton swab. Wipe gently to avoid scratching the lens, which could cause a 

malfunction.

I cannot make the computer exit power-saving mode with the 

mouse, or it takes a long time. 

  Press any key or the power button on the keyboard.

When I start the computer an error message appears, saying that 

the mouse is not connected.

  Select the check box that offers not to display this message again, and then click 

“OK”.

The mouse does not move smoothly after returning the computer 

from the power-saving mode. 

  Disconnect the receiver from the USB port, wait a few seconds, and then 

reconnect it.

After connecting the receiver, it takes a while before the mouse can 

be used.

  If the receiver is connected while the computer is processing commands from 

Windows, other software, or another USB device, it may take a while for the 

computer to detect the receiver.
