Getting Started
Thank you for purchasing the VP4750 Bluetooth Touchpad
remote by SMK-Link. It’s the perfect tool for giving better pre-
sentations or controlling your computer from across the room.
The VP4750 uses Bluetooth to provide up to 33 feet of range
and a touchpad for the most accurate mouse pointing. Before
you begin, your computer should already have Bluetooth
installed (either internally as on a Mac or high-end laptop or
externally with a Bluetooth dongle).
Install Batteries
Remove the battery door from the remote and
install two AAA batteries following the
diagram on the remote.

Pairing for Windows
The rst time you use any Bluetooth device, you must pair it
with your computer. Depending on the drivers and version of
Windows you have, your screens may appear slightly different
but the steps are generally the same. Should you have prob-
lems pairing, please contact Customer Support for assistance.
Step 1: Open Bluetooth Settings
Open the Bluetooth Control panel either by double clicking on
the Bluetooth icon in the system tray
or by selecting Start | Control Panel and double clicking on the
Bluetooth icon.
Step 2: Add New Device
Click on Add or New Connection to start the process of pair-
ing the VP4750 to your computer.

Step 3: Put VP4750 in to Connect Mode
Turn the remote On by sliding the power switch on the right
side of the remote. Put the remote into connect mode by
pressing the Connect button on the left side of the remote. The
blue LED should immediately begin blinking rapidly.
Step 4: Follow Add New Device Dialog Boxes
Your driver may have a checkbox for “My device is set up and
ready to be found”. If so, check that box and click next. Other
drivers skip this step and just have you click next to begin
searching for devices. This should bring up a list of Bluetooth
devices set into connect mode including nearby computers and
mobile phones.

Step 5: Final Details
Select the VP4750 from the list of recognized items and click
next. For drivers which need a device type, select Mouse. If
asked for a passkey, select “Do not use passkey” or “Empty
passkey.” Follow the
dialog boxes until
done. You should
now be able to move
the cursor by sliding
your thumb over the
touchpad.

Presentation Software
Give professional presentations with PowerPoint and the
VP4750. Control your slideshows from up to 33 feet away.
Use the touchpad as a mouse to load and start your presenta-
tions. The Next Slide (>), Previous Slide (<) and Blank buttons
will help your presentations look more professional.
Hint: Use the cursor as a virtual laser pointer. A laser pointer
doesn’t show up on a web conference and is hard to see on
plasma displays. Use the cursor to point out important details
that would otherwise be impossible for your audience to see.
Windows Desktop
Use the VP4750 as a mouse to control the windows desktop
from further away. Now you can use your laptop like a home
theatre system to play DVDs or to stream TV shows. Use
it with your desktop to select and play music. Any program
which can be controlled by a mouse, can be controlled with the
VP4750.

Pairing on the Mac

however, should you have problems, please contact customer
support for assistance.

in the dock or by nding the icon in the applications
folder.

Step 4: Set Up New Device
Click the “Set Up New Device” button then
click continue. When asked for the new device type, select
“Mouse” from the list of choices and click continue.
Your Mac should then nd the VP4750. If it doesn’t, please go
back to step 3 and make sure you are in connect mode. Once

Using the remote in OS X
Presentation Software
The VP4750 works with both Apple Keynote and Microsoft
PowerPoint. Control your slideshows from up to 33 feet away.
Use the touchpad as a mouse to load and start your presenta-
tions. The Next Slide (>), Previous Slide (<) and Blank buttons
will help your presentations look more professional.
Hint: Use the cursor as a virtual laser pointer. A laser pointer
doesn’t show up on a web conference and is hard to see on
plasma displays. Use the cursor to point out important details
that would otherwise be impossible for your audience to see.
Other Software
You can control any software on the Mac which can be con-
trolled by a mouse. This means you can use the DVD player
to watch movies, iTunes to build play lists and play music or
Safari to stream movies or TV shows from across the room.
Unfortunately, Front Row requires the keyboard or infrared
remote, so it will not work with the VP4750.
Mac

Advanced Topics
Mouse Speed
The speed of the mouse can be set in your Windows control
panel or the Mouse preference pane of System Preferences.
Sleep Mode
Because Bluetooth is continually transmitting and receiving,
it goes to sleep after 20 minutes of inactivity. When it goes to
sleep it disconnects from your computer and turns itself off. To
wake it up, just press the power button and wait a few seconds
for Bluetooth to reconnect.
Turning Off the Remote
If you do not want to wait for sleep mode to turn the remote Off,
you can also turn off the remote by sliding the power switch
and holding it for 5 seconds.
Advanced Setup
There are various setup options to congure your VP4750. For
a complete list, please visit “www.smklink.com/vp4750”.

Troubleshooting
The controller doesn’t work when I turn the power on.
• If it’s never worked, you may need to insert batteries (p. 2)
or pair the remote with your computer (PC p. 5, Mac p. 9).
• If it worked 20 minutes ago, it may have gone into Sleep
Mode to save power. To check, press the touchpad. If
the green Activity LED does not turn on, slide the power
switch to wake the unit back up.
Movement of the cursor is jerky.
• You may be too far away from the computer. Move closer
and see if the problem gets better.
• You may have too many items nearby using the 2.4 GHz
frequency. Try moving the computer to another location to
see if it improves.
• Your computer may be frozen or processing data. Check
to see if you have the same problem with a wired mouse.
• Your batteries may be getting low. Try another pair.

Page 17
When the computer goes into sleep mode, the remote does not
operate or operates erratically.
• Deactive the Bluetooth connection, wait a few seconds
and then re-establish the connection.
The mouse moves too fast / too slow.
• The speed of the mouse can be set in your Windows
control panel or the Mouse preference pane of System
Preferences.
The Scroll Strip does not work.
• Not all programs support scrolling. Try scrolling on a
wired mouse. If the wired mouse doesn’t work, you can
check in the mouse section of Windows control panel to
ensure it hasn’t been disabled. If it hasn’t been disabled,
the program does not support mouse and touchpad scroll-
ing.
