Cordless Mouse - Maintenance

Applicable to: World-Wide

Cleaning the Mouse Cage:

1. Place the mouse upside down.
2. Unlock the ball retainer ring by pressing on the ring in the direction indicated by the arrow on the retainer-ring cover.
3. Remove the retainer ring to remove the ball.
4. Wipe the ball with a clean, lint-free cloth, then blow carefully into the ball cage to dislodge dust and lint.
   • Look for a build-up of dirt on the rubber roller inside the ballcage. The build-up usually appears as a stripe running around the middle of the roller.
   • If dirty, clean the rollers using a swab moistened lightly with isopropyl (rubbing) alcohol. After cleaning, make sure the rollers are still centered in their channels.
   • Make sure that fluff from the cotton swab is not left on the rollers.
5. Put back the ball and retainer ring. Lock the retainer ring in place by pressing on it in the direction opposite from the arrow.
