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 commercially available mouse pad that is compatible with a laser sensor mouse. Although the polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) fluorocarbon polymer in the sole is a low-friction, non-stick material, the level of friction may vary depending on the material of the desktop and mouse pad. Hint If necessary, you can adjust the mouse pointer speed under Mouse Properties. To display Mouse Properties with the Windows 7 operating system, click Hardware and sound, and then Mouse in the Control Panel. To display Mouse Properties with Windows Vista and Windows XP operating systems, click Mouse in the Control Panel. (If you use Windows XP operating system, switch to Classic View.) Wireless communications The 2.4 GHz band used by Bluetooth devices and wireless LAN devices is also used by various other devices. Bluetooth devices and wireless LAN devices use the technology to minimize the interference from other devices that use the same wave length. Simultaneous use of the Bluetooth devices and wireless LAN devices, however, may cause radio interference and result in reduced communication speeds and distance than the standard values. 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 Bluetooth functionality and wireless LAN 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. Maintenance When you clean the mouse, make sure to remove the batteries. Clean the outside of the mouse with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use any type of abrasive pad, scouring powder, or solvent such as alcohol or benzine.

The laser does not light up when I turn on the mouse. The laser light from the lens is invisible. This is not a malfunction. The pointer/cursor does not move when I move the mouse. Your computers operating system may not be compatible with this equipment. Use a supported operating system. The mouse is not turned on. If the mouse is turned off, the mouse and your personal computer are not communicating. Turn on the mouse. With sufficient battery power, if you turned on the mouse, after a few seconds, the status light lights green momentarily. If not, there are no batteries in the mouse, or the batteries are exhausted. Insert new batteries. For more information, see Inserting batteries into the mouse. The mouse and the personal computer are not communicating. For more information, see Cannot connect to the personal computer. The mouse is being used on an unsuitable surface. Due to the characteristics of the laser sensor, the mouse may not work properly on transparent surfaces. Avoid using on such surfaces, or use a commercially available mouse pad that is compatible with a laser sensor mouse. The CONNECT button is pressed while operating the mouse. If the CONNECT button is pressed while operating the mouse, the mouse goes into a standby mode for about 3 minutes and cannot be operated during this time. If you press the CONNECT button, turn off the mouse once before starting to work with the mouse. The mouse may have difficulty communicating in an environment with 2.4 GHz wireless LAN or other Bluetooth communication. It is best to use the mouse in a location with low interference from wireless devices. 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 personal computers operating instructions. Refer to the manuals provided with your personal computer. Cannot connect to the personal computer. The mouse is not turned on. For more information, see The pointer/cursor does not move when I move the mouse. Communication status between the mouse and your personal computer may not have been properly established. Make sure your personal computer is set as below. The WIRELESS switch is set to ON. Bluetooth function is in operation. For details on how to set the WIRELESS switch or Bluetooth function, refer to the manuals provided with your personal computer. Turn off the mouse, after a few seconds, turn on the mouse to connect to the personal computer. For details on connecting, see Enabling communication between the mouse and your personal computer. If the mouse and the personal computer are too far apart, transmission may be affected. The maximum communication distance between the mouse and the personal computer is about 10 m (32 ft.). If used on a metal table or if obstacles are between the mouse and the personal computer, the usable distance may be less. Connect the mouse and the personal computer as close as practically possible. Depending on usage environment, communication distance may decrease, and improper operation may result. In such a case, keep other electronic equipment away from the host field. The scrolling features do not work. Your computers operating system may not be compatible with this equipment. Use a supported operating system. The program you are using is not compatible with the scrolling features. When I am using the mouse, the display goes dark or the personal computer enters power saving mode. The computers power saving mode is ignoring mouse activity. 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. Touch the touchpad or press any key on the keyboard to exit power saving mode. The mouse pointer does not move smoothly across the screen. The mouse may not work properly on transparent surfaces due to the characteristics of the mouses laser sensor. Avoid using on such materials, or use a commercially-available mouse pad that is compatible with a laser sensor mouse. Your mouse may be experiencing interference from other Bluetooth devices that are connected to your computer. Disconnect them all once, wait a few seconds, then connect them again. Exiting power saving mode with the mouse is not possible. Press any key on the keyboard. The mouse does not move smoothly after returning from the power saving mode. Deactivate the Bluetooth connection, wait a few seconds, and then reestablish connection. I am asked to enter a key when connecting to my personal computer. Enter 0000 as the key.
