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.
