3Insert the two IEC R03 (size AAA) batteries* with the correct
+ – orientation.
*The supplied manganese batteries are for testing purposes. We recommend using
commercially available alkaline batteries.

Continued on next page
Note
To prevent battery fluid leaks and damage, observe the following precautions.
• Insert the batteries with the correct + - orientation.
•Do not charge dry cell batteries.
•Do not use old and new batteries together. (Doing so may cause the battery fluid
to leak. It can also prevent the controller from operating.)
•Do not use different types of batteries together.
•If the controller will not be used for a long time, remove the batteries.
•If a battery fluid leak occurs, carefully wipe the battery compartment, and insert
new batteries.
•To prevent accidental operation, be careful not to press any buttons when
replacing the batteries.
4Close the battery compartment cover.
zHint
The battery will last approximately 14 hours of continuous use (when using alkaline
batteries). Check the controller's POWER lamp if the pointer becomes unresponsive, or
the operating range between the personal computer and controller becomes shorter. If the
POWER lamp is flashing yellow, replace the batteries. When not using the controller, set
the power switch to off.
Replacing the batteries
The POWER lamp flashing yellow indicates that the battery life is running low. Replace
the batteries when this occurs.

Disconnecting
Turn off the power switch of the controller.
Reconnecting
Turn on the power of the controller. After the Bluetooth status lamp turns
blue and begins flashing, the flashing will slow, and the connection will be
resumed.
Operating distance of the controller
The controller can normally be operated within about a 32 ft. (10 m) radius
around the personal computer. Depending on the usage environment,
sometimes the usable distance may be notably shorter, preventing normal
operation.
In such a case, take the following measures:
•Use the controller as far away from other wireless devices as possible.
•Use the controller closer to the personal computer.
Power-saving features of the controller
When the controller is connected to a personal computer, if you do not
operate the controller for 20 minutes, it will disconnect from the personal
computer in order to avoid draining the battery. Operating the controller’s
touchpad or buttons in this state will cause it to automatically connect.

Adjusting the pointer speed
If the pointer does not move smoothly when you slide your finger on the
touch panel, use the steps below to set the pointer to a speed that is easier to
use.
(The instructions below are only an example. The actual procedure may
differ depending on your personal computer. For details, refer to the
manuals provided with your personal computer.)
1Click “Start”, then “Control Panel”.
The Control Panel window appears.
If you are using Windows XP:
Click the “Printers and Other Hardware” icon.
If you are using Windows Vista:
Click the “Hardware and Sound” icon.
2Click the “Mouse” icon.
The Mouse Properties dialog appears.
3Click the “Pointer Options” tab.
4Adjust the speed, then click “OK”.
zTip
You can also change the pointer appearance in the Mouse Properties dialog.
Changing the pointer speed using this procedure will also change the speed of the
pointer controlled by your personal computer’s touchpad or mouse.
Tips for giving a smooth presentation
Here are some tips for making your presentation go more smoothly.
Setting the pointer options to always show the pointer arrow
If you are using PowerPoint software, we recommend making the following
settings before starting your presentation.
1While a slideshow is running, press the Right button to
display the shortcut menu.
2Select “Pointer Options”, “Arrow options”, then click “Visible”.
This setting will make the pointer arrow visible at all times during a
slideshow (by default, during a presentation the pointer is hidden if it does
not move for more than 3 seconds).
After the slideshow ends, the setting will return to the default value, so you
must perform this setting each time.

VGP-BRMP10_3-196-908-01(1)
Selecting the tapping and scrolling settings
The touchpad’s tapping*1and scrolling*2features are enabled at the
factory. Enable or disable these features according to preference. See page
XX for details on how to enable or disable these features.
*1The tapping feature
Tapping lightly once on the touchpad is equivalent to performing a left click. This is
handy for things like navigating hyperlinks or playing video files during a presentation.
If your presentation does not have hyperlinks, video files, or other objects you would
want to click, we recommend disabling the tapping feature to avoid using it by mistake.
*2The scrolling feature
Place your finger on the scroll line (see page XX) and move it up and down to move the
vertical scrollbar of the selected window.
Using the pointer options to select the pen for writing on slides
If you are using PowerPoint software, you can set the pointer to “Pen” to
write on slides during your presentation.
While a slideshow is running, press the Right button to display the shortcut
menu, then select “Pen” in the “Pointer Options”, and set the pen to the
desired colour.
Using the strap
You can put a neck strap or hand strap in the strap hole (see page XX). This
is a handy way to make sure you do not drop the controller.

The PowerPoint examples above are for PowerPoint 2003.

Precautions
Safety
If any solid object or liquid falls onto the
controller, disconnect it and have it
checked by qualified personnel before
continuing its use.
Location
Do not place the controller in a location
where it is:
•On an unstable surface
•In very humid areas or where there is no
ventilation
•Subject to excessive dust
•Subject to direct sunlight or extreme
heat
•Extremely cold
Operation
If the controller is brought directly from a
cold to a warm location or is placed in a
very damp room, moisture may condense
on the inside of the controller. If this
occurs, the controller may not work
properly.
In this case, wait about 30 minutes for the
moisture to evaporate. If the controller
does not work properly after one hour,
consult your nearest Sony dealer.
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.
Cleaning the outside of the controller
Clean the controller with a soft, dry cloth
or a soft cloth lightly moistened with a
mild detergent solution. Do not use any
type of abrasive pad, scouring powder, or
solvent such as alcohol or benzene.

19
GB
VGP-BRMP10_3-196-908-01(1)
Maintenance
Wipe the outside of the controller with a
soft, dry cloth.
Cleaning the cabinet
•Turn off the power and remove the
batteries before cleaning the controller.
•Do not use an excessively wet cloth to
clean the controller.
•Do not use solvents, cleaning alcohol,
benzene, or other substances that may
damage the finish.
