Replacing the Trackball with an
External Trackball or Mouse (Optional)
If you prefer to work with your own trackball or mouse, you
can remove the D-Control trackball from the D-Control Main
Unit and replace it with the provided blank plate, and place
your USB-compatible trackball or mouse on top of the plate.
To remove the trackball:
Using a 5/64-inch hex wrench, remove the screws in the
1
trackball panel on the D-Control Main Unit.
Remove the Molex connector that attaches the trackball to
2
the printed circuit board.
Remove the other end of the Molex connector from the P1
3
connector on the printed circuit board.
Remove the screws holding the printed circuit board to the
4
trackball plate. Set the original plate aside.
Locate the blank trackball plate and install the printed cir-
5
cuit board on underside of the plate.
Locate the USB connector on the printed circuit board, and
6
connect your trackball or mouse to it.
Connect the Molex cable you removed in Step 3 to the P2
7
connector on the printed circuit board. Fit the connector and
plug together to maintain polarity of this connection. Make
sure the red wire on the end of the cable is directly under the
"V" mark on the P2 silk-screen.
Route the cable of your trackball or mouse through the slot
8
in the blank plate.
Attach the blank plate to the Main Unit.
