Getting Started Thank you for purchasing the VP4750 Bluetooth Touchpad remote by SMK-Link. It’s the perfect tool for giving better presentations 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).

PC Pairing for Windows The first time you use any Bluetooth device, you must pair it with your computer.

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.

Using the remote in Windows Presentation Software PC Give professional presentations with PowerPoint and the VP4750. Control your slideshows from up to 33 feet away.

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.
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.
