Ifyou wantto select a mouse profile automatically when
the mouse driver is loaded, you can use command-line
switches to specify the profile you want to use, as well
as a custom mouse-profile file. You can also add com-
mand-line switches to the mouse command in your
AUTOEXEC.BAT file so that they take effect each time
you start your computer.
For more information on creating mouse-movement
profiles, see "Creating a Custom Mouse Profile" found
on page 11-17.
Cleaning the mouse
After an extended period of use your mouse may pick
up some dust or lint. If you notice that the pointer does
not move smoothly or that the ball does not move freely,
you should clean your mouse.
> To clean the mouse:
1. Turn off the computer.
2. Turn the mouse upside down.
3. Remove the mouse ball cover.
4 Turn the mouse right side up. The ball should drop
into your hand. If it doesn't, gently shake the mouse
until the ball drops out of its socket.
5. Once the ballis free, use adhesive tape to pick upany
dust or lint on the surface of the ball. Wipe away dirt
or lint inside the mouse socket. You can also blow
gently to remove dirt and lint. If lint is trapped
inside the socket or on the rollers, use a cotton swab
dipped in alcohol to loosen it.
6. Return the ball to its socket and snap on the mouse
ball cover.
