Before Use


 Features
            This controller is a Bluetooth Presentation Controller that uses Bluetooth
            technology.




            • Remotely start a slideshow, and move slides forward or backward.
            • Use the touchpad as a pointer during your presentation.
            • During your presentation, use the pointer option (page 00) to write on the
              screen, or use hyperlinking. Make your presentation more appealing with
              full control over video, Websites, and other content. (The pointer option
              and hyperlinking are features of Microsoft Office PowerPoint.)
            • The touchpad can be used for much more than just presentations. It is
              also great for remotely controlling audio and video software.

Compatible personal computers
        The Bluetooth® Presentation Controller can be used with the following
        personal computers (as of May 2007):
        • Sony VAIO personal computers equipped with Bluetooth technology and
          pre-installed with Microsoft Windows XP Professional, Microsoft
          Windows XP Home Edition, or Microsoft Windows Vista.
          (SP2 must be installed on your personal computer if it is
          pre-installed with Windows XP.)
        See the website referred to in “Getting Help” (page 00) regarding specific
        models.

        * Bluetooth technology
          Bluetooth wireless technology provides instant short-range connectivity without the
          need for cumbersome cabling. For details, refer to the manuals included with your
          personal computer.

         Note
        Depending on the personal computer or version of software you are using, the controller
        may not operate correctly.
        Consult your nearest Sony dealer about proper operating environments and information
        about Sony VAIO and Bluetooth compatibility.

   up and down to move the vertical scrollbar of
   the selected window (Scroll feature).
   Tapping lightly once on the touchpad is

   performing a double click (Tapping feature).

     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.

4 Close the battery compartment cover.




z Hint
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.

 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.)

        1 Click “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.


        2 Click the “Mouse” icon.
            The Mouse Properties dialog appears.


        3 Click the “Pointer Options” tab.
        4 Adjust the speed, then click “OK”.
            z Tip
            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.

        1 While a slideshow is running, press the Right button to
            display the shortcut menu.

        2 Select “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.
                                                                            Continued on next page

                                                                                        15 GB

        Selecting the tapping and scrolling settings
        The touchpad’s tapping*1 and scrolling*2 features 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.
        *1 The 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.
        *2 The 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.

        Note
        The PowerPoint examples above are for PowerPoint 2003.

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.

                         ❒ You pressed the CONNECT button while operating the
                           controller.
                           c If you press the CONNECT button while operating the
                              controller, the controller will go into connection standby
                              for approximately one minute, during which time the
                              controller cannot be operated.
                              If you press the CONNECT button, wait a few minutes
                              before operating the controller.
                         ❒ The controller may not be able to make a connection in
                           environments where communications are being
                           conducted using wireless LAN (2.4 GHz band) or
                           Bluetooth products.
                           c We recommend using the controller in a location
                             relatively free of influence from wireless
                             communications.
                           c Disconnect any Bluetooth products other than this
                             controller.

                           c It may be difficult to control the pointer by using the pad of
                              your finger on the touchpad. We recommend lightly
                              sliding the tip of your finger on the touchpad to operate it.
                              Operation may also be adversely affected if your fingertip
                              is sweaty.
