If the pointer on the screen does not move smoothly with the mouse, you might
need to clean the mouse.
To clean your mouse:
1. Turn off the computer.
2. Disconnect the mouse cable from the computer.
3. Turn the mouse upside down. Unlock the retainer on the bottom of the
mouse by moving it in the direction indicated by the arrow on the retainer.
4. Turn the mouse right-side up, and the retainer and ball will drop out.
5. Wash the ball in warm, soapy water and dry it well.
6. Using a damp cloth, wipe the outside of the mouse and the retainer. Be sure
to wipe the rollers inside the mouse.
7. Insert the ball and retainer. Lock the retainer by moving it in the opposite
direction of the arrow.
