Cleaning the mouse

The mouse contains a small ball that must roll smoothly for the mouse to
work properly. You can keep this ball free of dirt and grease by using the
mouse on a clean, lint-free surface and cleaning it occasionally.

You need a few cotton swabs and a clean, soft, lint-free cloth.

Note: If your computer came with a special mouse (like the two-button mouse
that comes with the DOS-compatibility card), see the instructions that came
with it for cleaning and maintenance information.

1

Turn off your computer.

2

Turn the mouse upside-down and turn the plastic ring on the bottom counterclockwise

to disengage it.

If the mouse is locked, see the next section, “Locking and Unlocking the
Mouse,” for instructions on how to unlock it.

3

Turn the mouse right-side up with one hand and catch the ring and the ball with your

other hand.
