If aproblem persists, consult your nearest Sony dealer.Nothing happens when I press a mouse button.❒The receiver is not connected properly to the USB port.cClose all programs, and then reconnect the receiver to yourcomputer.❒The operating system is not compatible.cUse a supported operating system.❒The USB port is not available.cCheck the “System Properties” of your computer.❒The mouse batteries are drained.c If the power does not come on when the power/mode switch is setto either MOUSE (mouse mode) or P (presentation mode), replacethe batteries. For details, see “Preparations”.❒The mouse and receiver are not communicating.c Perform steps 1 and 2 of “Enabling communication between themouse and receiver” to ensure that proper communication ispossible.c In some operating environments, the usable distance may be notablyshorter, preventing normal operation. Ensure that the receiver is notcloser than 8 in. (20 cm) to the computer, the display, and otherelectronic devices.cIf the mouse is too far from the receiver, communication is notpossible. Bring the mouse and receiver closer together.❒The mouse is being used on an unsuitable surface.cWhen used on a mirror, glass, or other shiny surface, or on atransparent or strongly patterned surface, the sensor on the bottomof the mouse may not be able to correctly detect the mousemovements. On such surfaces, use a mouse pad.❒The mouse may have difficulty communicating in a 2.4 GHz wirelessLAN environment.cIt is best to use the mouse in a location with low interference fromwireless devices.Pressing the Connect button does not establish a connection.cCheck whether batteries are inserted in the mouse. For details, see“Preparations”.cIf the power/mode switch on the mouse is set to OFF,communication with the receiver is not possible. Check the power/mode switch setting on the bottom of the mouse.cIf the power does not come on when the power/mode switch is set toeither mouse mode or presentation mode, the batteries may bedrained.
