Sony CAV-1 - Manual (Page 10)

Preparation
To avoid damage by battery leakage and
corrosion
Remove the batteries from the Air-EGG if it will
not be used for a long time.
Battery life
• About three months of normal operation can be
expected using Sony SUM-3 (NS), and a half year
using Sony AM-3 (NW) alkaline batteries. Since
the Air-EGG consumes power whenever vmu
pick it up and perform on-screen operations, the
service life of the batteries mav be less than three
months, depending on the amount of use.
• The Air-EGG battery indicator (see page 12) lights
up when the batteries become weak.
How to Use the Air-EGG
(CAV-1 Only)
The Air-EGG's gyroscopic positioning system
eliminates the need to point the Air-EGG
directly at the interface box to operate the on­
screen pointer. You can thus control the
pointer even while holding the Air-EGG with
your arms folded and the Air-EGG pointed
towards the side.
To move the pointer on the screen, lightly
hold down the click button on the Air-EGG
(see page 12). To activate a button or select a
menu item on the screen, press the click
button further.

Note
• The Air-EGG can be operated up to about 17 feet
(5m) from the interface box. This distance,
however, may be shortened if there are metal
objects near the interface box or Air-EGG.
• The Air-EGG is most suitable for control during
controlling equipment through the control
software or during presentations but not for the
precision control required in games.
