CARE AND MAINTENANCE  
Your RadioShack Dual Wheel Scroll Trackball Mouse is an example of superior de-  
sign and craftsmanship. The following suggestions will help you care for your mouse  
so you can enjoy it for years.  
Keep the mouse dry. If it gets wet, wipe it dry immediately. Liquids might  
contain minerals that can corrode the electronic circuits.  
Use and store the mouse only in normal temperature environments.  
Temperature extremes can shorten the life of electronic devices, and  
distort or melt plastic parts.  
Keep the mouse away from dust and dirt, which can cause premature  
wear of parts.  
Handle the mouse gently and carefully. Dropping it can damage circuit  
boards and cases and can cause the mouse to work improperly.  
Wipe the mouse with a damp cloth occasionally to keep it looking new.  
Do not use harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents, or strong detergents to  
clean the mouse.  
Modifying or tampering with the mouse’s internal components can cause a malfunc-  
tion and might invalidate its warranty. If your mouse is not performing as it should,  
take it to your local RadioShack store for assistance.

5. Blow gently into the ball housing to  
remove any dust or lint that might  
have collected there.  
CLEANING THE  
TRACKBALL  
The mouse might pick up some dust or  
lint after prolonged use. If the cursor is  
not moving smoothly on the screen, fol-  
low these steps to clean the trackball  
and its housing.  
6. Replace the trackball.  
7. Align the tabs on the cap with the  
holes on the ball housing, then turn  
the cap clockwise to secure it.  
1. Shut down and turn off your com-  
puter.  
2. Insert a pointed object (such as a  
straightened paper clip) into the dot  
on the ball cap and turn the cap  
1
counterclockwise about /4 inch to  
detach it.  
3. Remove the trackball, as shown.  
4. Use a soft dry cloth to wipe the ball.  
Note: Never use cleaning fluid, sol-  
vents, a tissue, or anything that  
might leave lint.
