1. A position indicator for inputting a position signal to an information processing apparatus comprising:
at least one sensor,
a controller configured to operate in a first mode of operation and a second mode of operation different from the first mode of operation, wherein in the first mode the position indicator transmits the position signal to the information processing apparatus, and wherein in the second mode the position indicator does not transmit the position signal to the information processing apparatus,
a first transmission section configured to transmit data detected by the at least one sensor to the information processing apparatus when the controller is operating in the second mode, and
a second transmission section configured to transmit the position signal when the controller is operating in the first mode, wherein the controller controls, in the first mode, the second transmission section to transmit the position signal when receiving a predetermined signal transmitted from the information processing apparatus.
