To prevent battery fluid leaks and damage, observe the following precautions:
 Insert the battery with the correct +/- orientation.
 Do not charge a dry cell battery.
 If the mouse has not been used for a long time, remove the battery.
 If a battery fluid leak occurs, carefully wipe the battery compartment, and
insert a new battery.
 To prevent accidental operation, be careful not to press any buttons when
replacing the battery.
If any solid object or liquid falls onto the mouse, set the power to off and have
it checked by qualified personnel before continuing its use.
Do not place the mouse in a location where it is:
 On an unstable surface
 In very humid areas or where there is no ventilation
