Precautions
Bluetooth communications
• The 2.4 GHz band used by Bluetooth and wireless LAN devices is also
used by various other devices. Bluetooth devices incorporate technology
that minimizes interference from other devices using the same
wavelength. However, communication speed and achievable distances
may be reduced. Interference from other devices can also stop
communications altogether.
• 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 wireless LAN and Bluetooth 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.
Inserting batteries into the mouse
1
Close the button cover to turn off the mouse.
2
Turn the mouse over to open the battery compartment
cover. Insert the two supplied LR03 (size AAA) batteries
using the correct +/– orientation.
3

z
 
Hint
Under normal operating conditions, a set of alkaline batteries lasts about
one and a half months*. When cursor movement becomes sluggish and the
communication distance between the mouse and your personal computer
decreases, check the status light on the mouse.
When not using the mouse, close the button cover to set the power to off.
This will extend battery life.
* This estimate is based on five hours of use per day, five days per week.
These could be different depending on the usage environment.
