Apple G3 manual Cleaning the Monitor, Cleaning the Mouse

Cleaning the Monitor

Warning Do not clean any part of your monitor with a cleaner that contains alcohol or acetone. Never spray cleaner directly onto the screen. Liquid could drip inside the monitor and cause electrical shock.

To clean the monitor case and the screen, wipe the surfaces lightly with a clean, soft cloth dampened with water. Do not use aerosol sprays, solvents, alcohol, or abrasives that might damage the finish on the case.

Cleaning the Mouse

The mouse contains a small ball that must roll smoothly for the mouse to work properly. You can keep this ball free of dirt and grease by using the mouse on a clean, lint-free surface and cleaning it occasionally.

You need a few cotton swabs and a clean, soft, lint-free cloth.

1Turn off your computer.

2Turn the mouse upside-down and turn the plastic ring on the bottom counterclockwise to disengage it.

See the illustration below:

If the mouse is locked, see the next section, “Locking and Unlocking the Mouse,” for instructions on how to unlock it.

3Turn the mouse right-side up with one hand and catch the ring and the ball with your other hand.

4Clean the three small rollers inside the mouse with a cotton swab moistened with water.

Rotate the rollers to clean all around them.

5Wipe the mouse ball with a clean, soft, dry, and lint-free cloth.

6If necessary, wash the mouse ball with warm soapy water (use a mild soap such as a dishwashing liquid) and then dry the mouse ball thoroughly.
