Troubleshooting
If you experience any of the following difficulties while using the
mouse, use this troubleshooting guide to solve the problem. If a
problem persists, consult your nearest Sony dealer.
Nothing happens when I press a mouse button.
❒
The receiver is not connected properly to the USB port.
c
Close all programs, and then reconnect the receiver to your
computer.
❒
The operating system is not compatible.
c
Use a supported operating system.
❒
The USB port is not available.
c
Check 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 set
to either MOUSE (mouse mode) or P (presentation mode), replace
the batteries. For details, see “Preparations”.
❒
The mouse and receiver are not communicating.
c
Perform steps 1 and 2 of “Enabling communication between the
mouse and receiver” to ensure that proper communication is
possible.
c
In some operating environments, the usable distance may be notably
shorter, preventing normal operation. Ensure that the receiver is not
closer than 8 in. (20 cm) to the computer, the display, and other
electronic devices.
c
If the mouse is too far from the receiver, communication is not
possible. Bring the mouse and receiver closer together.
❒
The mouse is being used on an unsuitable surface.
c
When used on a mirror, glass, or other shiny surface, or on a
transparent or strongly patterned surface, the sensor on the bottom
of the mouse may not be able to correctly detect the mouse
movements. On such surfaces, use a mouse pad.
❒
The mouse may have difficulty communicating in a 2.4 GHz wireless
LAN environment.
c
It is best to use the mouse in a location with low interference from
wireless devices.
Pressing the Connect button does not establish a connection.
c
Check whether batteries are inserted in the mouse. For details, see
“Preparations”.
c
If 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.
c
If the power does not come on when the power/mode switch is set to
either mouse mode or presentation mode, the batteries may be
drained. Under normal operating conditions, a set of alkaline
batteries lasts about three months. Replace the batteries. For details,
see “Preparations”.
c
Communication between the mouse and receiver may not have been
properly established. If the CONNECT button on the mouse is not
pressed within 30 seconds of pressing the Connect button on the
receiver, the receiver cancels communication. In such a case perform
the procedure again to enable communication. For details, see
“Enabling communication between the mouse and receiver”.
c
If the mouse and receiver are too far apart, communication is not
possible. The maximum communication distance between the mouse
and receiver is about 32 ft. (10 m). If used on a metal table or if
obstacles lie between the mouse and receiver, the usable distance
may be less.
The scrolling features do not work.
❒
The operating system is not compatible.
c
Use a supported operating system.
❒
The program you are using is not compatible with the scrolling
features.
c
The scrolling features only work with programs that use a scroll
function.
c
Some programs do not support the scrolling features.
❒
After the receiver was installed, the computer was returned to normal
mode from power-saving mode.
c
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.
c
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.
c
You may find some useful solutions in your computer’s operating
instructions. Refer to the manuals provided with your computer.
❒
The mouse batteries are exhausted.
c
If the power does not come on when the power/mode switch is set
to either mouse mode or presentation mode, replace the batteries.
For details, see “Preparations”.
❒
The mouse is not set to mouse mode.
c
Set the power/mode switch on the bottom of the mouse to MOUSE
(mouse mode).
❒
The mouse and receiver are not communicating.
c
Perform steps 1 and 2 of “Enabling communication between the
mouse and receiver” to ensure that proper communication is
possible.
c
To reduce interference from other radio waves, keep the mouse away
from other wireless devices.
c
If the mouse is too far from the receiver, communication is not
possible. Bring the mouse and receiver closer together.
❒
The mouse is being used on an unsuitable surface.
c
When used on a mirror, glass, or other shiny surface, or on a
transparent or strongly patterned surface, the sensor on the bottom
of the mouse may not be able to correctly detect the mouse
movements. On such surfaces, use a mouse pad.
Pressing First button or Second button does not switch the screen.
❒
The program you are using is not compatible with First button and
Second button.
c
First button and Second button only work with compatible
programs.
c
The mouse settings may have been changed. Check the settings on
the “Mouse Properties” screen. For instructions on displaying the
“Mouse Properties” screen, see “Adjusting Mouse Properties”.
When I am using the mouse, the display goes dark or the computer
enters power-saving mode.
❒
The computer enters power-saving mode even while a USB device is in
use.
c
Change the power management settings for the computer to prevent
it from entering power-saving mode. For details, refer to the manuals
provided with your computer.
c
Touch the touchpad or press any key on the keyboard to exit power-
saving mode.
The computer does not return from Standby mode.
c
Touch the touchpad or press any key on the keyboard to exit this
mode.
The mouse pointer does not move smoothly across the screen.
c
The optical mouse distinguishes movement by reflecting the red light
from its base off surfaces and detecting shadows with an optical
sensor.
The optical mouse may not operate correctly on the following
surfaces:
- Transparent surfaces (such as glass)
- Surfaces that reflect light (such as glossy plastics or mirrors)
- Surfaces with a repetitive pattern, such as screening (like those used
for printing photos in magazines and newspapers)
- Surfaces that are striped or have another distinct, high-contrast
pattern
If the mouse pointer does not move smoothly across the screen, make
sure you are not using the mouse on one of the surfaces listed above.
Exiting power-saving mode with the mouse takes a long time or is not
possible.
c
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.
c
Select the check box that offers not to display this message again, and
then click “OK”.
The mouse does not move smoothly after returning from the power-
saving mode.
c
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.
c
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.
The buttons and ??Scroll Pointer?? do not work as I expected.
❒
The mouse is set to the wrong operating mode.
c
Check the power/mode switch setting on the bottom of the mouse
and the mouse icon in the computer's notification area, and set the
power/mode switch to the desired position.
❒
The operation setting value is incorrect.
c
Open the “Mouse Properties” screen, and adjust the setting to the
desired value.
For details, see “Adjusting Mouse Properties”.
I do not know what mode the mouse is set to.
c
Check the power/mode switch setting on the bottom of the mouse
and the mouse icon in the computer's notification area.
: Mouse mode
: Presentation mode
The receiver is connected but the mouse icon does not appear in the
notification area.
c
Disconnect the receiver from the USB port, wait a few seconds, and
then reconnect it.

Fonctionnement
Si vous déplacez la souris USB d’un endroit froid à un endroit chaud,
ou lorsqu’elle est placée dans une pièce très humide, il est possible que
de la condensation se forme à l’intérieur de la souris. Si cela se produit,
la souris risque de ne pas fonctionner correctement.
